[GRASS-dev] Modules

Glynn,

I'm fairly tied up for a couple of days but really intrigued by these
changes. Is this at a point where someone like me could actually make use of
these new features? (i.e., from outside the C environment). Can I call them
from TclTk? Could Jachym call them from wx.Python?
