Summary: rtcheck/g_lint duplication

Initial Comment:
The tools rtcheck and g_lint have similar functionalities.  The 
rtcheck program functionality is mostly in g_lint.  The only thing 
missing seems (at first glance) to be the -M option that MGED uses 
to pass view information to "rt" programs.  If this could be added to 
g_lint, we could have one (better, easier to maintain) code for doing 
overlap checking and a host of other functions.

Since SAB is in the midst of formalizing a process for vetting 
geometry, this would be an opportune time to condense this work 
together.

g_lint should be enhanced so that it can produce both the ascii and 
plot variants of output at the same time.  Ugh.  Make that: change 
the man page so it makes sense.  It acutally still reports the 
overlaps in ascii still, but the plot file goes to stdout.

We should update MGED to call g_lint with the right flags instead of 
rtcheck when the user give the "rtcheck" command.
