I agree about it needing to be ported or rewritten. So it's out because it's still a bash script? 

In that case, we should replace the thematic map layer in the GUI with d.thematic.area. This at least provides nice choropleth maps. That is, it *should* do that. I just tried doing a simple replace of d.vector.thematic with d.thematic.area and it doesn't create a display for some reason. It does work, however (tested with wximgview).
