[GRASSLIST:2423] g.region output in decimal degrees

[Jason Horn]

Small but perplexing question:

g.region outputs the coordinates of a lat-lon locaion in dd:mm:ss
format.  How can I get it into decimal degrees?  (I can't just convert
it manually - I'll loose accuracy.)  I need to know the exact
boundaries of the region in decimal degrees.  In the manual page for
g.region, it shows output for g.region -l in decimal degrees.  But I
get dd:mm:ss when I invoke it.
