Hi everybody, first of all thanks to Francesco for setting up the archive! This will surely become very useful for all of us. Currently I have no time but I will upload gdal-grass within the next days so that it should be rather easy to install qgis with grass support in a few days.

Unless there are any objections I will use it for my gdal-grass upload.
