[GRASS-user] Multiple v.net.path parameters

I am looking to use v.net.path to determine the distance of
many different points to many different other points on a
network.

Is it possible to send multiple parameters to v.net.path?
For instance, I have (in theory) 4 points connected to a
network. I want to find the distance of the line segments
between points 1 and 4, 2 and 4, & 3 and 4.

run 3 times and then combine with v.patch?

I want to:
run v.net.path once by passing multiple parameters;
get vector line output of each of these three paths found
by v.net.path in one output file;
calculate the distance of each line from the file using
v.to.db.

Since this is not a module of GRASS which I have worked
with in the past, I am wondering if this is possible.

IIUC something like this has newly been worked on as part of the
Google Summer of Code project by Daniel Bundala.

you might want to contact him and act as a beta tester for his
new modules. (find him on the OSGeo SoC mailing list)
