	d.grid doesn't allow you to display a grid with unequal axes. To
produce such a grid, you must write an input file for the d.mapgraph command.
Read the entry for d.mapgraph in the Reference Manual. Once written, you
can overlay the grid on your maps by using the command
	d.mapgraph input='name of inputfile'

	No. If you want a grid 'etched into' a rastermap, you must draw
it yourself using v.digit, rasterize it using v.to.rast, and patch it into
your rastermap using r.patch. This is an ugly solution. If you just want 
to see the grid each time you display the rastermap, it's better to take
the trouble of typing in TWO commands (d.rast ...., d.mapgraph ...)
