[GRASS-dev] how to start wx vdigit?

[William Kyngesburye]

Oops, forgot the -shared flag in the vdigit makefile.  It ended up  
linking as a program.  See: http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/61

Changed the shared flag to something appropriate for OSX, and I didn't  
need to add the "import wx" to grass6_wxvdigit.py.

I successfully digitized a boundary.  Lots of messages in the Terminal  
- failed assertions and context errors.

I'll add to http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/58 with my results.
