There have been some mention of possible licensing issues. If these are solved, I think that this is a great idea.
One suggestion is to have defaults that make r.cva operate like r.los. Since I don't use it a lot yet (due to installation issues that have come and gone), I have trouble remembering the settings that let it do simple viewsheds--though I know that it does them.
