R: [GRASS-user] v.net.path through gis manager (GRASS6.2)

[Michael Barton]

This could probably be done even easier than the profiler, more like the way
r.color.rules works. It just needs a wrapper script with the appropriate GUI
parser prompts to provide a place to type in coordinates and pass them to
the GRASS module. 

If we wanted to do it interactively via mouse, then profile.tcl is a good
model from which to use code. It uses the mouse to grab screen coordinates,
convert them to geographic coordinates, and feed them to r.profile.
