[GRASS-user] overlap to vector maps

v.overlay-->  http://grass.fbk.eu/gdp/html_grass64/v.overlay.html

The output file would have the spatial intersection of both vector
maps.  Then uploading the areas from the geometry to the database
(v.to.db) would populate the values for the intersected areas.
