Sounds like in grass6, the rasterlib equivalent is initialized by
G_gisinit(). Is it really necessary to initialize rasterlib, no other
possibility? If yes, can't that be done by e.g. Rast_open_old/new?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but apart from gislib and rasterlib, no other
standard lib needs to be initialized? At least there is nothing like
Db_init() or Display_init() or Vect_init(). Modules currently rely on
G_gisinit() to provide all the stuff they need.
