wxPython 3D (AKA wxnviz) is broken on the Mac. Martin and I know where it is
broken, but not why. Fixing it at this spot causes something else to break
(not critical, but annoying). I don't know whether this should be something
to worry about before release or not.

it should be fixed at least for final release. It's not stopper for RC4.

More:
- r.sun yet broken for LatLong. See my recent mail.
- other?

Since wxvdigit and wxnviz are unlikely to be fixed, I suggest to get out
RC4 now.

New:
- the native winGRASS packager updates from Colin are in SVN now.

RC4 now.

Tomorrow Mandriva will freeze for 2009 Spring. I would like to see
RC4 there...
