William,

r.le needs major work.  It has not been touched in several years and I'm
a bit surprised that it still works at all.  I got a start on it last
week by at least resolving compiler errors/warnings for r.le.patch, but
I didn't really attempt to fix anything.

Is there anyone who has the time to deal with r.le in the near term?  It
will be a fairly time consuming project if you plan on updating text I/O
(it references stderr, stdout, and files extensively).

What happened to r.le.dist, anyway?  Would it be best to remove r.le
from production branches (6.2) until it works reliably again?
