[GRASSLIST:1235] For users of Grass beta 10

Hello all

If you are using the latest release of GRASS (beta10), you may receive
the following error message:

Error in startup script: wrong # args: should be "string compare string1
string2"
   while executing
"string compare -nocase $ver "8.0""
   (file "/usr/local/grass5b10/tcltkgrass/script/gis_set.tcl" line 706)

This occurs because the -nocase option to string compare is a recent
addition to Tcl/Tk, so older versions of Tcl/Tk do not support this
option. The simple fix for this error is to simply edit the file
tcltkgrass/script/gis_set.tcl and remove the -nocase option on line 706.
After this fix, grass5 should run properly.

Thank you.
