exactly what I was looking for; thanks! (it is slowly crunching away...);
looks like it is a wrapper around successive r.mapcalc runs?

Looks very cool! I'll admit in advance my response to the following might
be completely lame by comparison...

Just thinking if mapcalc, instead of just defining new map layers
(A=foo at mapset1...) you might use one layer as a Key for intermediate,
category-based running results in memory...but again, I will look at
starspan...thanks!
