it shouldn't need to be. the parser will accept shortened names as long
as they do not conflict. Therefore a call to 'r.surf.fractal d=' will
work the same in grass 6.3 as it will in 6.4.
So names can be lengthened without worry.
Does it not work??

I don't know of an automatic way of testing for that, but there should
not be any.

maybe r.terraflow's STREAM_DIR option?, but we should fix whatever the
new caps option bug is in the parser and leave that in caps for 6.x.
