[GRASS5] Missing tcltk dialog for image tools

[Michael Barton]

Markus, 

Your list seemed too long so I went just went through all the GRASS 5.7
commands you list below. The great majority of them already do have tcltk
dialogs (you and the others have perhaps been even more productive than you
thought). 

Most of those that need to run in an xterm are set up to do via the GIS
Manager menus (although it would be nice if they could be converted to
autogenerated tcltk dialogs). Only two (g.rast.edit and g.access) are not
set up to run in an xterm via the menus. Oddly, there are a couple of other
commands that used to work fine with the menus that now don't work
(g3.region and r.terraflow). I can go ahead and fix these four in the menus.
If anyone adds a tcltk dialog to any of these so that they can be run via
the execute procedure, let me know and I can change the menus appropriately.

Michael
