 Currently it is not possible to work with MAPSETs that are not owned by
 current user. There is a good historic reason for such design decision,
 still it would be nice to provide users an option to override this
 ownership check. It would not harm anyone on a single user system and, as
 usual, users enabling this override must blame them self if any harm is
 done.

 Without looking at code, it could be implemented as a startup
 switch/checkbox in GUI + a GISENV variable to enforce it subsequently.
 Design must be adopted according to existing code.
