Right. There isn't a non-interactive version; you would have to modify
the WIND file directly. Essentially, you need to change the value on
the "proj:" line; X/Y is 0, lat/lon is 3.

However, it's debatable whether you should be re-importing images
which were created using the PNG driver into GRASS. For
zooming/panning around a map (or series of maps), you would normally
create a new PNG file each time, by the same means that the original
PNG file was created.

In most cases, rendering a map to an image will lose information. If
you re-import the rendered image as a map, then render a new image
from that map, the errors will accumulate.
