Comment(by veroandreo):

 Adding a use case here to support the addition of -r flag to r.in.gdal

 I'm working with time series (2003-2013) of MODIS-Aqua L3 Chlorophyll
 concentration and Rrs data. Data is available globally
 (http://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODISA/Mapped/8Day/4km/chlor/), but I
 just need a small sample covering the argentinean sea. I have more than 40
 images per year, 10 years of data, 5 different products, ~150 Mb each.
 That's a lot of space for my notebook. I cannot loop over all data set cos
 i fill the disk completely... So, i have to go folder by folder
 uncompressing (original data are .bz2 hdf files), importing into grass,
 subseting, and then removing the global files...

 I could really use a flag to subset to the region extent on-the-fly when
 importing into grass and save disk space and time :)
