Shall I look into what library code needs to be modified/added?  Seems
it will be a pretty small amount of changes.  Do you want to look into
the Init code (will need migration code)?  Is there anything we should
be particularly aware of?

So we have, maybe:

$HOME/.grass5:
grass5rc
tcltkgrassrc
com/
tmp/
?
