My bad; through a weird coincidence I was already editing the description.html for v.in.ogr 
when Nikos's bug report came through the list. I thought he was reporting the man page typo that I was 
in the midst of correcting. I haven't changed the output parameter to 'required' either in the C code
or the docs.
