Yes, that's unchanged and behaves as before. Break boundaries can be 
made faster with boundary splitting.

There is some potential for improvement. I could sometime soon put a new 
version of v.in.ogr in trunk that optionally uses boundary splitting, 
which could not only speed up breaking boundaries, but also topology 
building. Independent of that, topology is built by v.in.ogr more often 
than actually needed, also a time killer with large imports.
