[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] GRASS6.3 on Windows

This sounds like it would be really nice. My dream is to find a way to
'seamlessly' (overused buzzword, but appropriate here) integrate 2D views
with 2.5-3D views in the GRASS display system, so that it is just another
way to look at the same geospatial data rather than needing to launch a new
module.

Please keep thinking about it.
