[GRASS-user] v.trees.3d and gem

[Benjamin Ducke]

As the GEM manual (comes as part of GRASS since 6.3, just like the gem6
program) states: you can only use GEM to install extensions that have
been prepared especially for it.

That is not the case for any of the stuff in the GRASS add-ons
repository. Instructions on how to install those add-ons should be
available on the same page from where you downloaded the add-on itself.

I propose removing GEM from GRASS 6.4. It's done some good job as a
development tool for me, but as a user tool, it only creates confusion,
like in this case. Plus, after several years, not a single
GEM-installable extension has ever surfaced (apart from the stuff along
side which I originally developed GEM).
