 AFAICT this will only work if LFS is globally enabled/disabled in grass,
 as in grass7. The modifications done in grass7 are probably too
 fundamental to backport (not sure about libgis and the raster part, but
 for the vector part I had to change core functions in the vector libs).

 BTW, the 2GB temp file limit also applies to various other modules (all
 vector modules, r.watershed.seg, r.cost, r.walk, r.drain, r.proj...)
