[GRASS-dev] v.krige seems hard coded to Python 2.6

That isn't the only issue. Even if it uses the correct version of
Python, it still won't run because it imports modules from wxGUI
(globalvar, gselect, goutput, menuform), but the "scripts" directory
is built before the "gui" directory.

That would work. But I'd suggest putting the wxPython+wxGUI portion in
the "gui" directory and installing it to $GISBASE/etc/wxpython. The
front-end could go into either "gui" or "scripts", and be installed
into $GISBASE/scripts.
