The calculation of the grid=rows,columns parameter is rather tedious
for a user while d.grid offers a convenient size parameter.

All ingredients for a parameter change (GRASS 7) should be already
present in the module.

Changes (by hamish):

  * keywords: => v.mkgrid

Comment:

I'm not sure, grid=rows,cols locks in the size when used with
position=coor. if there was just mesh size= how do you then limit the size
of the new grid?

with position=region it makes sense though, but isn't size= just
box=width,height by another name?
