I see that I can use the GRASS-GIS's v.sample<http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/v.sample.html> to solve this problem, but I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to create a GRASS mapset for each area I am working on.  Anyone have any ideas?

QGIS Point sampling plugin? Postgis 2 can now do this too, but it's
quite a bit slower right now.
I'm confused about the interpolation role in this, does that just apply
to cases where a point lands on the edge between pixels?

Thanks,
