stuff of interest. Particularly in the pub/grass/grass4.1/documents
directory, there are tutorials on advanced GRASS functions such as
r.mapcalc (think of this as math applied to raster arrays), r.combine
and r.weight (think of this as how to combine spatial submodels into
one type of model), and others.
