Comment (by hamish):

 right, right. The GRASS_VERBOSE enviro variable should only have an effect
 on messages to stderr, not on what data gets written to stdout. if
 forgottenly set, it could cause many problems with parsing scripts.

 I'm not sure if a -g flag is really needed, the string is easy enough to
 parse as it is, and almost all the parsing of it I've done in the past has
 to be to determine if I should send grass5 or grass6 commands.

 Martin:

 where's that used? as far as the startup welcome screen goes, I think
 "7.0.svn rxxxxx" is very good.
