I wonder if there was a good reason to put in the full path, perhaps it
is more simple to use ("$GISBASE/etc/nad/%s",nad_file) instead of
("%s/%s",nad_dir,nad_file) ?
Makes the output non-useful for use outside of GRASS but it certainly
makes it easier to read and the output portable across systems (e.g.
bug reports), especially when your $GISBASE is something long like:
/home/user/src/grass/grass61-cvs/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu.
