This would be a great feature. QGIS has a mapserver export plugin that  
I have been using to create a starter template for my projects, then I  
do a bunch of customization for shp2img output to png. Having  
something similar in GRASS would be very welcome. I was a little  
surprised to not find that when searching for such functionality last  
week. If you can carve out the time, I suspect it would be put to use  
by quite a few users.
