@brief Construct simple wx.Python GUI from a GRASS command interface
description.

Classes:
 - grassTask
 - processTask
 - helpPanel
 - mainFrame
 - cmdPanel
 - GrassGUIApp
 - GUI

 Copyright (C) 2000-2009 by the GRASS Development Team

 This program is free software under the GPL (>=v2) Read the file
 COPYING coming with GRASS for details.

 This program is just a coarse approach to automatically build a GUI
 from a xml-based GRASS user interface description.

 You need to have Python 2.4, wxPython 2.8 and python-xml.

 The XML stream is read from executing the command given in the
 command line, thus you may call it for instance this way:

 python menuform.py r.basins.fill

 Or you set an alias or wrap the call up in a nice shell script, GUI
 environment ... please contribute your idea.

 Updated to wxPython 2.8 syntax and contrib widgets.  Methods added to
 make it callable by gui.  Method added to automatically re-run with
 pythonw on a Mac.
