You can either generate the POINTS file of i.points with 
a script or alternatively use 

# define the four coordinates:
gdal_translate -gcp x1 y1 refx1 refy1 -gcp x2 y2 refx1 refx2 ... image1.tif image1_gcps.tif
gdalwarp image1_gcps.tif image1_geocoded.tif

Please refer to http://www.gdal.org for details (if needed).
