It means keeping GRASS as a bunch of modules which can be used from
any language which has the ability to execute external programs, i.e. 
it has an exec/system/spawn/etc function (or, in the case of a shell,
executing external programs is such a fundamental operation that it
doesn't even require a specific function).
