d.vect.thematic (d.mon)

d.thematic.area works for me, but I have not had any testing feedback
from anyone else.
I still need to finish "d.thematic.points_and_lines" (still need to find
a good name for it, or split it into two d.thematic.points and
d.thematic.lines). Probably "just" a 1-2 days job for me (1-2 hours for
others), but I need a full stretch of time to be able to
concentrate on it, and this is a very rare commodity in my life at this
time (and has been for a while).
I've tried working with the thematic area C-module. I think the last time I tried it, I hit a bug, Moritz fixed it, and I haven't had a chance to try it again. This is much preferable over the very complex bash script I wrote and others have enhanced. As Moritz says, it needs testing and the points/lines version needs to be finished. Porting the existing script is not terribly hard (though it would be time consuming) and the display section needs rewriting to deal with the demise of d.mon.
However, the C-modules are better and should replace the script.
