I didn't know about this piece of software. At a first look it look very 
promising. It needs to take a closer look and consideration if this will be 
applicable to my/our ideas but if it does it can make a big save of time with 
implementation. Perhaps it'll bring GRASS-TBG too far from GRASS so it's up 
to comuntity to consider this too. For now is GRASS-TNG in stage of taking 
ideas on paper (a electrical one :-)) but later this can help a lot.

Thank you for this note.
