Hi,
since Excel files continue to be widely used, it would be a great help to
have direct read support in GRASS, e.g. for easy table joins.

Fedora also has Furieri's freexl, in case that helps.
Excellent (since we at FEM co-financed it :) - I see it also on
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/versions.html
So two choices if Mac OSX and the Debian-style world also
have either/or or both...
Debian has xlrd (xlwt is for writing Excel files) in stable and freexl
in testing.
However, why should we implement this in GRASS when OGR already supports
Excel file reading (via freexl) ? Can't you just use db.in.ogr ?
