Ok Makefile updated to change name, made a symbolic link to the old name
for the life of GRASS 6.x, changed links man pages, d.m etc.
The man page for the GRASS 5 version of d.labels already talked about
d.paint.labels getting merged into it which is a plus. Now we just have
to merge the interactive editing of 5.3's d.label+d.labels into a new
module called d.labels.edit.
