wingrass native: vdigit error on new map

[hamish]

Hi,

with the latest wingrass native stand-alone installer (6.4.0rc.svn.37703), if you start the wxGui, in the map display window pull down 2D view to be Digitize (hey, it built!), then on the left pull down the empty box to select New vector map, add a name like "testmap" and press Ok you get an error in the Output tab:

New vector map <testmap@user1> created

I think the original report must have been in error. Anyway now you get a nice message that the wxDigitizer module is missing instead of a nasty traceback log.

If you start WinGrass with a MSys terminal, you get a message on the terminal at startup that explains why the vector digitizer is not there.

Something pointing the user to Vector -> Develop -> Digitize using Tcl/Tk would be nice. ... either a message or immediate launch of the Tcl/Tk version.

replace no module named grass_wxvdigit [OK] with "no module... Start Tcl/Tk {digitizer|NVIZ} instead?" [Yes] [no] ?
