 Disadvantage: the user would have to install and compile the code.

 I personally would prefer it, yes, but it means more work and someone has
 to do it. Are you volunteering ? :-)

 > why not write new grass module. we can port/copy/translate those c++
 methods into using grass api wherever possible.

 +1 (with the above reservations).
