Comment(by hamish):

 I'd suggest adding a g.tac script using the above awk method in $(ETC),
 along the same lines as $(ETC)/echo, `grocat`, and `run`; but looking at
 the purpose of $(ETC)/grocat (grass65/lib/gtcltk/grocat.c), perhaps a -r
 flag could simply be added there for this?

 {{{
  * MODULE:       grocat
  * AUTHOR(S):    Paul Kelly
  * PURPOSE:      Copies stdin to stdout in line-buffered mode until end
  *               of file is received.
 }}}

 (see also `lib/init/echo.c`, which "replaces the standard UNIX echo which
 varies from machine to machine")

 I assume for grass 7 this is a non-issue, as v.in.mapgen (eg) methods have
 already been rewritten to do all this in python.
