GRASS and xfig map drawing

Hi,

as far as I am currently working with lots of vector maps:
Does anyone know an way to export GRASS vector maps
to "xfig"?

(Xfig is a nice freeware drawing tool, which can be used
 to produce nice maps: http://www-epb.lbl.gov/BVSmith/xfig/

 - it accepts raster images (r.out tiff -> xv -> GIF)
 - it accepts vector drawings (but only its own ASCII format)
 - it outputs Postscript, Latex, raster images etc.
 - it accepts xx MB raster files for big maps
)

So something like a module "v.out.xfig" would be helpful for
importing GRASS vector maps directly into xfig. 
Did anyone start writing this or is there a different way?

Thanks!

  Markus
