For the OSSIM grass bridge we had started on a python interface
to the libgrass5.  It wasn't completed, see an old screenshot at:
ftp://intevation.de/users/bernhard/ossimbridge

What was also started at this point was the possiblity 
of grass commands to output information about the needed parameters.
This would allow GUIs to build simple interfaces automatically
for commands. Probably this still is a good idea to help
GUI development in the long run.
