I am getting more and more requests about r.cva. Obviously, there is a lot of people who know about and want to use it. So far, none of them has been able to make any sense of the GEM installation routine.
I suggest we include r.cva in the main GRASS CVS tree. It is stable but with some poorly tested options. Together, we could test and improve it in time for the GRASS 6.2.3 release. With some recent fixes I made, r.cva (as opposed to r.los) runs fine on Win32, as well. Since r.cva can do all that r.los can do, I suggest replacing r.los with a script that calls r.cva with the same parameters you would pass to r.los. That way, we need to maintain only on code base. It would probably be necessary to add an option to r.cva to specify observer coordinates directly but that should not be hard to do. If you all agree to that, I will just get in touch with Mark Lake to make sure we have no licensing issues here and can put the code under GPL.
