>From yesterday's discussion I feel that r.mapcalc might be easier to use
than r.neighbor and r.mapcalc (you could use both the 3x3 operation and the
replacement in an eval() environment, just an idea).
However, to have a standalone module would be the best as
scripts are usually very slow. And a 3x3 won't be sufficient in most cases
so you need to run it again and again...

But maybe the r.neighbors code could be modified to do the job?
