method to north-south stack a series of raster maps now added
as a new grass6 addon script:
  http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_AddOns#r.stack

r.stack is a shell script used to patch all the raster maps in a time series (or burst 3D raster) together into a vertical stack, to aid mutli-map analyses in modules where group input is not yet available.  Use in a lat/lon location may be problematic.

now added as a new grass6 addon script:
  http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_AddOns#r.colors.out_vtk

r.colors.out_vtk is a shell script used to export the color table associated with a raster map layer to a VTK XML file.

props to Soeren for help with VTK.

still TODO. similarly, how to take GRASS_RGB column setting for
NVIZ vector points (once fixed :) and surfaces.
