[GRASS-dev] Re: Re: [GRASS GIS] #156: new attribute in Option struct to allow conditional options requirement

[Michael Barton]

I'll respond here with an idea because I'm not sure if it quite fits in the
this track ticket yet, but am happy to add it in for future reference if all
think I should.

Why not have one field that defines the order of the tabs and one that
defines the tab label? I haven't dug into the TclTk code that parses these,
but it can't be that hard to change it to account for this. The same goes
for the wxPython parser code. It would probably simplify a LOT of things in
the parser.
