[GRASS5] New script for monitor output to multiple formats

[Michael Barton]

Soeren,

Thanks for the testing.

For the transparent and black/white background options, I used

export GRASS_BACKGROUNDCOLOR=
export GRASS_TRANSPARENT=

that are listed in the PNG driver documentation.

Do these do what they claim to do? I'm not sure how to test.

Michael
