 It would be good to add a wrapper for one-shot analyses to be done in
 GRASS and R. In GRASS, this means:

 - load a raster with r.external

 - generate a location based on it

 - run the analysis

 - output a tiff

 - load the tiff on the canvas

 Similar for vectors. Of course serious GRASS work must be done via the
 GRASS plugin, but this will make rather complex analyses available also to
 non-GRASS aware people, providing a gentle introduction to it, and
 increasing the power of QGIS analyses.
