Agreed.  This module is extremely important to me.  If I can't rectify
images, GRASS becomes somewhat unusable to me.  Most of the imagery
commands are quite important to me.

I believe i.ortho.photo will require input from one method or another.
I don't see it working without interactive input, either.  This is one
of the other reasons I brought up the subject of lib/vask again.  I'm
honestly stumped as to how to resolve this without rewriting the module
as GRASS advances.
