I looked at it but with r.code, I've to provide the input data range values as
fixed values (at least one) rather then saying use all values from min to max
as it is possible in rescale...

I think r.mapcalc is probably the best solution, but as I don't know the maximum
value in every case (I've to process several maps), I wanted to automatize.
Probably I've to write a script to read the max value and parse it to the mapcalc function.
My problem: First, I don't know how to do that, Second there is this python-script issue
on my mac (see other thread)...
