may seem as feature request but for GRASS 7 it is a bug. Expected output is
a series of maps which you can put into a temporal dataset, export as
images or analyze individually. Visualization is another issue but for
GRASS 7, -d switch will newer be enabled.

I'm not familiar with r.spread much, only from manual, so correct me if I'm
wrong.

Maybe it is not so complicated to rewrite it, is somebody familiar with the
code to say something about it?
