[GRASS-dev] compile 6S library in GRASS

[Roberto Marzocchi]

Obviously the module will be implemented with various options (manual
balie, AREONET, etc.)

Concerning AREONET effectively the Py6S library do only an "interpolation"
searching the closest time and wave length, so Roberta are writing the
routine without using py6s.

Thanks all' for the suggestions!
