[GRASS5] gis.m as default GUI

[William Kyngesburye]

Rats.  I didn't realize.  I guess Mac users will be stuck with an X  
Tcl/Tk for a while.  I suppose I could give it a try - run it in the  
Aqua Tcl/Tk and see if it opens an X window for v.digit display.   
Unless someone knows definitely that this won't work...
