I agree with more GUI friendly way. Once done in r.profile, this
functionality will be instantly available for MS Windows users (using only
GUI).

I updated the very outdated manual of r.profile by removing -i flag
documentation (which even has a replacement in GRASS 7). I noted also the
possibility of standard input.

Note that currently when you forget to fill `profile` in GUI and press Run,
you will get strange behavior. Two distinct options will avoid this.
