fyi, r.transect is already just a simple frontend to r.profile.

You can use the -g flag to get geographic coordinates (which can be fed
into v.in.ascii, either as points or form a line from the verticies*),
and the -c flag to get a GRASSRGB column for filling color (or other
thematic use).

[*] see v.in.garmin script

Make the segment distance longer than your line length, and you get end
point coordinates from a dist,azimuth. (?)
