tip:
  (for subset country-scale image in image corner with box showing area
   of interest)


Create an EPS map with ps.map at the country scale, use "g.region save="
and the ps.map "region" instruction to highlight the zoomed in area of
interest.

Change back to the zoomed-in region and rerun ps.map at the desired
scale, then include and place the EPS file with the ps.map "eps"
instruction.
