Radim suggested to me that it is better to not copy the
PERMANENT/VAR settings, but to generate the VAR file
with DBF settings from scratch.

Unfortunately, I don't manage to program it:
In file lib/init/mke_mapset.c

/* generate DB settings file in new mapset */
        sprintf(buffer,"'%s'/'%s'/VAR", location, mapset);
        if ((fd = creat (buffer, O_RDWR)) < 0) {
                perror (buffer);
                G_fatal_error("Cannot create VAR file in new mapset");
        }

        fprintf (fd, "DB_DRIVER: dbf\n");
        fprintf (fd, "DB_DATABASE: $GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/dbf/\n");
        fclose (fd);

mke_mapset.c: In function `make_mapset':
mke_mapset.c:33: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast

My usual string problems... Then it happily segfaults.
Any idea?
