Now that's great news :-)
Is it pure java or does it use the GRASSlib? (if GRASSlib is still 
around, was just being created when I left GRASS).

It may not be impossible. It's just that when you ate geotools
and geoserver all the week you may not be eager to implement
something that big on the weekend :-)
It's about keeping a balance between work and private life, especially
when, like me, you are working at home anyways. Well, calling it work
seems strange since I enjoy it so much, but that's the very reason
one has to be cautious and not let it eat all the non sleeping hours
right away.

Cheers
