haven't tried this before, but sounds great, alternatively you can try it with
a script:
#!/bin/bash
echo "import shape files"
for i in *.shp ; do
base = ${i%.*} #I found this in my old code, no idea why ,-)
v.in.ogr input=$i output=$i
done
the shell need to be run in the folder with you shp files.
