Comment (by dylan):

 Just re-compiled GRASS with Colin's recent patches to r.cost, r.drain, and
 r.walk. Compiles fine against develbranch_6 on linux, with visibly
 different results. Using the output direction update to r.cost/r.drain
 does not appear to differ much from the original implementation. The
 results from r.walk/r.drain using the output direction patch results in
 considerably differences-- that appear to be non-optimal in this terrain.
 Code and resulting output posted here:

 Thanks for the work on these modules. I wonder if using more than the
 cardinal directions would result in a more realistic "direction map".
