You can write Grass map compositions out to ppm (use the ppm driver in p.map.new)
and then use the ppmtogif tool under the pbmplus set of tools to convert to
gif. The pbmplus tools are located under the /src.related directory.

Many folks have succeeded in displaying Grass maps to a browser. I don't know
if they are using a routine like I layed out above or some other way.
