Use the ps.map "mapinfo" instruction for scale and bounds information
and the "scalebar" instruction to draw a scalebar. The "grid" and
"geogrid" instructions take care of the grids. It is hoped that the
print with ps.map button produces a command file template that gets 
you close; you can then copy and tweak as needed.

maybe have d.out.png find and change any d.vect calls to use width=$res
? maybe not
