wrapper script for d.path so that source vector network map (eg roads) is
drawn in background with d.vect.

d.path only draws the shortest path + start/end points. Not sure how
the wx GUI deals with this-- d.path /was/ an interactive xmon module
but I added a coor= option so now it will run non-interactively if you
specify the start/end coords from the command line. The GUI should collect
those points from two mouse clicks and feed the result to the module
which then generates the render-layer for overlay the Map Display.

IIUC the idea there was to simulate d.* command line tools from the Cmd>
GUI command prompt ???

this is very much like d.out.file in GRASS 6, but it forces window size
to 1280x1024 and writes georef info to a tile index file for the GpsDrive
software's backdrop tiles (www.gpsdrive.de). Requires the PNG driver etc
so won't work with GRASS 7 without a complete change of method. No idea
how to do that, but it is a useful module for users of GpsDrive + GRASS,
so if there is a way to get it to work with gr7, I'd be keen to see it
ported.

If a method is found, it would be nice to recreate a d.out.file too, as
that is very useful.

probably drop this in favour of v.in.gps(babel)

to be compltely rewritten as v.in.gps.py using GpsBabel -> GPX format
then -> the new v.in.ogr GPX driver.

to be ported.

unused? (or if used, just a 1-liner)
note nviz from File menu in wxGUI on WinGrass currently fails for
unknown reasons. ("process complete: 0 sec")
