 I meant "nviz -f <script>", but I think I got that working with r40879. I
 discovered that nviz2.2_script uses "exec nviz -f ..." in several places
 (it's relying upon the "#!nviz" to which I don't expect to work).

 If `argv[1]` is "-f", main() skips the G_parser() stuff and calls
 Tk_Main() with the unmodified argument list. IOW, nviz behaves like wish.

 If `argv[1]` isn't "-f", main() calls G_parser() on the original command
 line. If G_parser() returns successfully (--help etc all cause G_parser()
 to call exit()), it then calls Tk_Main() with a fabricated command line:
 "nviz -f .../nviz2.2_script" with no further arguments. IOW, nviz behaves
 like a GRASS module; all command-line processing is done by G_parser()
 before Tcl/Tk gets involved.
