using sites to re-categorise rasters and polygons

You could convert your site list a raster file with that option in s.menu
or with s.to.rast, if your site list is in the format y|x|#attribute.
Then you could run r.stats on the sites_raster_file and 
the thiesen_polygon_raster_file to establish the relationship between the 
thiessen polygons and the attribute.  That can then be piped into r.reclass 
via a small awk script that removes the zero categories r.stats list 
from the site_raster_file. All this could nicely be handeled in a
little script.

Good luck!
