Sigh -- this really needs a permanent fix.  Whenever you install a new
version of geomview, it overwrites data/.geomview, discarding any
record of the modules you've installed.

For the moment (i.e. the 1.2.3 distribution) I've fixed the top-level Makefile
to tweak the {BIN,}DISTLIST to grab data/.geomview from dist/data/.geomview.
So instead of having to shuffle .geomview-dist -> .geomview and back,
we just have static files.

So:  TO UPDATE THE DISTRIBUTED .geomview FILE, EDIT

	/u/gcg/ngrap/dist/data/.geomview

rather than data/.geomview-dist.  The RCS file is moved, too.

I'm going to work on a proper fix for this.  I'm thinking we can do it
with an "include" in the main .geomview file
(`` (read commands < .geomview-modules) '') plus a bin/sgi/.geomview-XXX
for each module XXX, and make the install scripts catenate all .geomview-XXX's
into data/.geomview-modules.
