I don't recall this, but that doesn't mean I didn't say it (I have poor
short-term memory).  I haven't touched i.class in this regard.

Part if the reason I haven't proceeded in this direction with
i.ortho.photo is because the API was seemingly in flux and there is
little documentation for it that I am aware of...not that I've gone out
of my way to look.  However, now I have v.digit to use as a reference
and I can begin to start working toward that goal.

i.ortho.photo has been reorganized and much of the recoding has taken
place, but the legacy curses still exists.  Then there is the small
issue of do we want 8 modules or 1 module to complete a single task (ie.
a front-end)?  Can we put it to a vote and be done with it?  Glynn, I
know you have valid reservations, but I really believe this is the best
approach from the user's perspective.

But you're right that i.class will be easier, so I'll start working on
that tonight to make sure I know my way around the new GUI scheme.
