I have tested the script on PIII 450Mhz 192MB Linux Debian Testing with 
grass6.1-cvs and AMD 3000+ 32Bit 512MB Linux Fedora Core 3 with 
grass6.1-cvs.
The script works well, i've tested every output format but not 
every resolution with every outputformat, only with tif and png.

I've used the spearfish dataset and visualized raster maps, vectors, 
labels and the scalarbar. Looks good, but the black or transparent background 
didnt worked. I watched the pictures with gimp 2.something.

Besides background and transparency the script work very well.

Best regards
Soeren
