Because GTKwave is the most talked about? It's also neatly ported
and packaged for many platforms. Also, when you get more advanced,
there is the LXT2 format that Icarus Verilog and GTKWave support
that is a compressed waveform dump format.

But instructions for using dinotrace with Icarus Verilog are
certainly welcome: <http://iverilog.wikia.com> I recommend starting
with a note in the FAQ page that would point to a dinotrace page.

For that matter, GTKWave instructions can stand to be better on
the iverilog.wikia.com documentation.
