[DebianGIS] GRASS not building on sparc, remove --with-glw from ./configure line



Hi,

I notice the grass package is held up in unstable[1] as it is not up to
date on sparc[2]. The problem appears to be some trouble with finding
the GLw includes during the ./configure step.

[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/grass.html
[2] http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=sparc&pkg=grass&ver=6.2.2-1

No idea why that might be. However there is no need to compile with GLw
support, as GLw is not needed by any [activated] modules[3]. So --with-glw
can be safely removed from the ./configure line without affecting
functionality.

I do not have access to the DebianGIS SVN to make the change myself.

debian/rules:
                    --with-motif \
                    --with-readline \
                    --with-nls \
-                   --with-glw \
                    --with-odbc \
                    --with-sqlite \


The OpenGL libraries listed in build-depends are probably still required
for NVIZ so should remain in the control file. (?)



Also, what is the policy of backporting minor bugfixes? 6.2.2 shipped
with a bug in the scripts/d.slide.show/d.slide.show shell script that
renders the module unusable. The patch[4] is just removes the "--quiet"
command line parameters.
