[GRASS5] [5.7] Exact datum names and v.in.ogr

[Hamish]

Hi, trying to import a shapefile into a location with the nzgd2k datum,
v.in.ogr gives the following warning:


> v.in.ogr dsn=. out=coastline_g57 layer=coastline
WARNING: Datum 'NZGD_2000' not recognised by GRASS and no parameters found.
         Datum transformation will not be possible using this projection
         information.
Layer: coastline
-----------------------------------------------------
...
...



How can I tell it NZGD_2000 == GRASS's nzgd2k ?
Reprojecting with a datum transform is what I need the file for..

I don't necessarily have write permissions on the data to edit the
metadata file or want to do that (many many large files to copy/edit/break).

More generally, different people will call the same datum by slightly
different names. How do we deal with this during data import?

It works properly into 5.3... (by not checking I guess)



thanks,
Hamish
