Oh, just like there is already swig/python and swig/perl for GRASS
there could be swig/java too if someone wanted to work on that.

How does JGrass do it now? Do they link to the GRASS C API or just
modules? (the modules generally give enough low level control to not
need to use the C API much)

a de facto scripting standard for geo-scientists. It would be a Good
Thing.
