replacing the grads logo

[Matthias Muennich]

Hi Bernd,

take a look at the -b and -t options to printim I implemented for
Garry.  After converting
and maybe resizing your logo, you should be able to achieve what your
printimb does in one step.

See http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradcomdprintim.html

 - I don't think you can overwrite printim the way you like to  without
recompiling GrADS.
 - The GrADS/IGES logo is hard code.  You need to recompile GrADS to
change it.
My 2cc.
