It's pretty complex code with additional external dependencies and most of my archaeological colleagues simply don't have the technical know how to get it running from a source repository. This was the original reason why I created GEM which now comes with the current GRASS in CVS. Since I don't have the time to maintain my code in several repositories, I will maintain it only in GEM packages. In the near future, I want to make these work on MingW, as well, but for now I need a quicker solution because I want to use the software in a class this semester.
