OK, having the filename be .grassrc is fine and makes more sense. I
guess I was brainwashed after seeing it called gisrc so much in the
initialization stuff. :)

As for removing the version number, the conflict with grass4.3 was the
reason I suggested we leave it for 5.1. I assumed that once we released
Grass 5 stable, that most (if not all) users would switch to grass 5.
Then for grass 5.1, the conflict wouldn't exist. Or do you see people
still using both versions after Grass 5.1?
