This isn't officially supported, but you can usually get away with:

	g.gisenv set=LOCATION_NAME=<new location>
or:
	g.gisenv set=MAPSET=<new mapset>

However, this change won't affect running programs such as tcltkgrass,
NVIZ or display drivers (e.g. XDRIVER). For tcltkgrass or NVIZ, you
have to quit and restart to get them to notice the change. For display
drivers, running d.erase will suffice.
