#535: toolbar "add vector" and "add raster" buttons have a regression in
usability from gis.m

In gis.m, the "add vector" and "add raster" commands had a single
dedicated button, and it would seem natural that such fundamental
operations are 1 click away from the user.
The new wxGUI, instead, forces the user to click 2 more times:
1. click the "add vector map layer" button
2. choose the "add vector map layer" option
3. the d.vect window opens
4. the user has to click AGAIN to see the layers' list and eventually
select the desired map
This looks like a serious usability regression IMHO.
