Subject: ps.map scalebar - more options like what unit, display unit y/n

Platform: GNU/Linux/x86_64
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries
GRASS Version: 6.0.0

It would be nice if one could add the name of the unit used in the scalebar, e.g. meter, kilometer. Furthermore an option where one can choose in what unit the numbers of the scalebar should be displayed, i.e. meter or kilometer, etc. would be nice.

Reasons

to 1st request: generally it seems more appropriate to have the unit displayed.
to 2nd request: Having a map of the scale 3.000.000 or something like that a scale bar with units in meters (e.g. in UTM) seems also not very nice - its OK, but a scalebar with kilometer  units would be nicer in this case.
