[GRASS5] GRASS extension manager proposal

I thought that this might be worth discussing in a broader venue.

Hamish,

Just after sending my last reply, I had a thought. We could develop a new
naming standard for all commands along this line as a next step. For
example...

<modeling
r.mod.topmodel
r.mod.basin fill

<reports
r.rep.cats
r.rep.stats

<overlay
r.ovl.patch

<develop
r.dev.digit

etc.

Indeed. This is a nice organizational plan to build on. In many senses, we are
already halfway to this kind of self-organizing system. However, the
complexity of GRASS (and any high-end GIS) means that we need more 2nd and 3rd
order divisions as you note here.

The ultimate objective is to make a GUI that is more or less
self-generating.

see how the help pages organize themseleves based on r.* etc. to form these:

r.in.* etc might be a quick further refinement.
