I see.
Thinking about it again: probably it is a waste of time.

Proposal:
- write a script to emulate r.surf.idw[2], calling
   - r.to.vect
   - v.surf.idw
- retire r.surf.idw and r.surf.idw2, substitute them by this script.

Since both r.surf.idw and r.surf.idw2 are half broken (r.surf.idw2 more
than the other) and v.surf.idw works, this might be the least cost path
for maintenance.
