Hm, that is a discussion about the scripting language being used in
trunk/scripts. But then why where all these shell scripts converted to
python? Anyway, I am happily using my own shell scripts with GRASS 7,
IOW, for GRASS 7 I do not see a need to support shell scripts in the
Makefile system, apart from shell scripts in addons that can not
easily be installed via g.extension, although manually copying them to
the script folder of the GRASS 7 installation works (for me).
