[GRASS-stats] Speedup of readVECT6() with plugin

maybe the solution is just adding another line somewhere that does like
if( wind.region != map.region )
  r.mapcalc "tmp.R.outputmap.$$ = $inputmap"
else
  g.copy "$inputmap,tmp.R.outputmap.$$"

?

Or do the commands have to come from the R side, so no GRASS module commands can be used? Or else teach the user to do that cropping/resampling first (which is not a very nice solution IMO).
