I suppose that the best way to go, and most likely to succeed, would be to ask
for (even better - fund) the support for writing E00 in GDAL/OGR library
http://www.gdal.org/ogr/, which GRASS uses for vector import/export. Then a
wide variety of FOSS GIS, including GRASS, could use this functionality.

Note that GDAL 1.4.0 already supports E00 for reading. See:
