+When importing ESRI Shapefiles the OGR library tries to read the
 LDID/codepage setting from the .dbf file and use it to translate
 string fields to UTF-8. LDID "87 / 0x57" is treated as
 ISO8859_1 which may not be appropriate for many
 languages. Unfortunately it is not clear what other values may be
 appropriate (see example below). To change encoding the user can set

 Starting with GDAL 1.11 the library supports multiple geometry columns
 in OGR. By default <em>v.in.ogr</em> reads all geometry columns from
 given layer. The user can choose desired geometry column
 by <b>geometry</b> option,
