[GRASS5] GPS connectivity

[Eric Mitchell]

I've got a garmin connectivity library up and running in Tcl.
>From this, it's trivial to construct scripts that download
waypoints and convert them to site files, or download routes
and save them as ascii vector files.  I have the basics of 
this running already, but I'm working out the "distribution"
kinks right now.

Also, a generic base GPS class could be used so that multiple
types of gps units could be supported via specialization.  
Again, all within Tcl (Incr Tcl, to be precise).

Now that I think about it, if I say (for now, at least) that 
it is expected to be installed into a grass directory structure, 
a lot of my distributability concerns go away.  Hmm. maybe I can
have a tarball ready in a night of hacking (probably a week 
calendar time).
