This is a good point. I am all for standardizing... however Hamish's qualms 
are an important issue. We should come up with an organized approach to 
testing and re-testing these large-scale changes so that we aren't faced with 
a pile of non-working but standardized modules.

This brings up a related topic: a complete GRASS test suite. I know that Soren 
(?) had something like this going -- however work on the test suite might be 
of higher importance than features.

Thoughts?
