There's no fundamental reason why not. The -gui case just executes
gis_set.py, which updates $GISRC and returns a success/failure
indication. Although, writing something similar using Python and
curses would be a fair amount of work (you'd basically end up porting
most of the old Vask library to Python as well as set_data itself).
