[GRASS-user] tweak r.buffer to incorporate dampening function

[Māris Nartišs]

Hi,

there was a discussion about similar topic some time a go 
[GRASS-user] [GRASSLIST:1081] Sediment dispersal modeling

It would be nice if there could be some module that could simulate flow using 
user's defined equation. No, I don't have time right now to code it. ;)

Maris.
