The name really doesn't matter. GRASS only ever accesses the file via
the GISRC environment variable.

Again, it doesn't actually matter unless the same file is supposed to
be used when creating a GRASS session via the startup script.

FWIW, I do have a ~/.grass7/rc file; the timestamp is Feb 2010, which
shows how often I run the startup script.
