[GRASS-dev] Possible to use "conditionals" for script options, flags?

[Anna Petrášová]

Hi Nikos,

there is a new parser functionality which allows to specify the
dependencies.There is no documentation, here are the C functions:
http://grass.osgeo.org/programming7/parser__dependencies_8c.html

recently Glynn added this for python scripts to, i am not sure about the
syntax, perhaps something like this (just guess):
 #%rules
 #% exclusive: -a, -b
 #% requires_all: opt1, opt2, -a
 #%end

you can specify that one of  mean target altitude and elevation map is
required (G_option_required) and that they are exclusive
(G_option_exclusive), again, not sure about the Python syntax
