v.mapcalc reads the expression from stdin (see yylex.c); argv is
ignored.

Not only does it not call G_parser(), it doesn't call G_gisinit()
either. The only GRASS functions which it calls are:

G_calloc
G_malloc
G_realloc
G_fatal_error
G_free
G_gettext
G_message
G_warning

I suspect that it's probably a long way from being functional at
present.
