eliminating additional gplt process for gddiag, gdbiint

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a version of gddiag and
gdbiint that would incorporate everything needed to run without starting
an additional gplt process, similar to the _gf versions of the graphical
programs.  I would like to speed this up as I am working with large
grids and not having to create those other gplt processes would help a
lot.

Thanks,
Robert Mullenax
