AFAIK, IDW takes as argument the radius which is fixed to 1 which is
questionable. Since v.what.rast samples a raster value at a given
location, why not use the standard raster sampling methods
                nearest: nearest neighbor
                linear: linear interpolation
                cubic: cubic convolution
                lanczos: lanczos filter
                linear_f: linear interpolation with fallback
                cubic_f: cubic convolution with fallback
                lanczos_f: lanczos filter with fallback

which are used by r.proj and i.rectify? The concept is essentially the
same: for a given location, estimate the corresponding raster value.
