[GRASS-dev] module ->label versus ->description

Hi,

I notice these two changes:  (are there more?)
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/25463
  http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/29533

They are good candidates to use both module->label and
module->description. Using both of those is not an error. If the GUI or
lib/parser.c fails to deal with that, the bug is not in the module.

Just like with option descriptions, when ->label is present it becomes
the short GUI label and ->description then becomes the longer tooltip
text.

In the case where helpful information is removed from one place, care
must be taken to add it back in somewhere else.


thanks,
Hamish
