Or maybe:
r.colors ... rules=<name>
which would just be shorthand for e.g.:
r.colors ... color=rules < $GISBASE/colors/<name>
That way, adding new tables (e.g. "terrain") would just be a matter of
adding a rules file; no coding involved.
The only cases which should really need to be coded are those which
can't be described by a fixed set of rules. BTW, most of the existing
colour tables could be implemented using rules; AFAICT, the only ones
which can't are "grey.eq", "grey.log" and "random".
Actually, maybe we should just change the semantics of the "color=..."
option so that anything other than "rules", "grey.eq", "grey.log" and
"random" is treated as the name of a rules file.
