It is not advertised too much yet as I first want to migrate the
old 5.7 tutorial completely to the WIKI, then delete the old 
tutorial.

Probably I should first delete the old tutorial, link the
new one and then (later) extend the new WIKI tutorial?

Yes, such a table is desired.
Note that here relevant stuff is already available:

 http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/~checkout~/grass51/doc/vector/v.modules.html

This table (in 5.7 CVS: doc/vector/v.modules.html ) may be just extended,
I guess..
 
But: I am currently absolutely out of time.
Since the WIKI is writable to non programmers, this is a nice job
for another contributor.
