[GRASS-dev] Structure of links for addons, manual pages etc.

[Yann Chemin]

About the manual urls, I have an opinion:

Main manual for G7 to be linked to the SVN version (always updated).
Old manuals fixed to released versions (not maintained).

I understand how extreme it may be, but it may be very easy to maintain
(only one version)
