[GRASS5] [bug #3389] (grass) ps.map: no way to make monochrome

[Request Tracker]

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3389
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I notice try as I may,
$ echo 'vlines ribcage; color black; end; vpoints ribcage;\
color black; fcolor black; end;'|tr \; \\n|\
ps.map scale=1:40000 output=ribcage.ps

$ identify -verbose ribcage.ps
still shows so many colors. No way just to make black and white.

One has to do
$ convert -monochrome ribcage.png ribcage.png
for better or worse.

What's really bad is ps.map insists on drawing an undocumented black
border around the image, with no way to get rid of it!!
