[GRASS-dev] nad grids storage

[Vincent Bain]

Dear grass devs and users,
sorry for digging up this pretty old topic. It was about the end of my
initial message, see bellow (perhaps should I have opened a ticket for
it)

The question was : is it possible to add the french nad grid to grids
provided by default in grass directories ?
Everytime I completely rebuild grass (after a make distclean) I have to
manually copy the ntf_r93.gsb file
into /usr/local/grass-XX.svn/etc/proj/nad/

It would be nice that grass sources included this nad grid ; here in
France it is fundamental whenever you need to switch between various
geodetic systems (ntf and rgf93).

Bye,
Vincent.
