Markus,

Jurgen is doing quite a bit of work on GRASS now and I'm not clear on the
state.  But the main point is that neither Jurgen or I are really GRASS
users and we aren't able to evaluate it's usefulness and completeness.

The package is still available, but I hesitate to put something on the
express package list without some confidence in it.

Best regards,
