[GRASS5] d.siter/wish invocation

[Andreas Lange]

Hi,

Sorry to insist on this, but i think that those systems are broken. With
the link from wish to wish8.x you can accomodate your system to
different versions of wish or to a extended version of wish. You can
even have around two versions of wish and tclsh, which is sometimes the
only solution. 

Perhaps others can comment on this, if this complicated setup is really
necessary i think i should write a more general solution (like a central
startwish script). The other solution is a nightmare to support/test
(think of the number of tcl/tk scripts in grass).

cu,

Andreas
