v.in.ascii is the module to use, but currently it does not support
DDD:MM:SS format for import coordinates (GRASS wish #2993).

For now Lat/lon coordinates must be given in decimal degrees.

e.g.

10.573112,45.200064,0,What a dump!


v.in.ascii fs=',' ...


I don't know if quoting text helps or if you need to use another
deliminator.
