yes, but IIRC the author has copyright problems from his university
which wouldn't let him release it as GPL. Otherwise it would have
replaced r.los a long time ago. IIRC2 as mentioned in the Google SOC
project thread that even with the r.cva improvements the base r.los
algorithm is badly inefficient, and could be implemented a lot better.
