[GRASS5] Platform for next generation UI

[Michael Barton]

Paolo,

I checked in the CVS. Over the past year, contributors to the TclTk
interface have included Hamish, Markus, Cho, and Florian as well as me.
Glynn Clements has given a lot of help and advice on and off list. These
folks also actively contribute to other areas of the GRASS code. Several
other people have been a big help as early testers. I've done most of the
coding for the past couple years.

I don't know how many people actively contribute to GRASS. Given the size
and complexity of the project, we could always use more. It would be ideal
if there were 3-4 people who could focus on the UI, especially while it's in
development.
