This doesn't work. I think now that if r.poly uses the region settings,
r.line should too. 
The vector modules can not use the current region setting, as this would
require an extra round of cutting and probably affect topology in
unwanted ways.

This is more a long-term wish. No need to implement this with the old
vector lib IMHO.

Will look again now.

I think now that r.what/v.what should be shell-style and d.* interactive
modules. No need to have the interactive part in the r./v. modules. 
Then the d.* modules could check for display availability. It is
important IMHO that the output of both d and r/v modules is identical.

I am aware that there are many improvements on the way. But i have to do
my work right now.
So i need a solution that works. 
I wrote a shell script for creating a vector bounding box for the
current region settings and a second script for cutting the actual
region from this. 
If there is general need for both scripts please tell me.
