[Gvsig_english] Sextante for gvSIG has been released

[Michael Fecht]

Hello Victor,

thanks for that. That was exactly what i was looking for. Just today I 
told Jose that we want to use both gvSIG and SAGA, but know there is the 
opportunity to have SAGA functions in gvSIG. GREAT!!!

But I have one little Problem. I dont't know how to install it (Linux 
and Windows).
Maybe you (or someone else) can post a short installation description.

Thanks
Michael
