[GRASS-dev] r.out.gdal rewritten - won't scale beyond 2GB

[Māris Nartišs]

Hi,

Sorry, I'm not reading related code, but does not many current GRASS modules 
relay on loading whole raster map into ram? Not all GRASS modules scale 
well :)
 
IMLO better working version today than excellent version tomorrow. Talks about 
replacing r.out.gdal script w C module I hear for long time, but no one does. 
Now we have an option, why not use it?

My 0.02,
Maris.
