[GRASS5] v.in.ogr PRJ issue

[Kirk R. Wythers]

I don't know the answer here Markus, but I have noticed this same  
message on much of the work that I have been doing for the last few  
weeks with grass and postgres. Since the imports from v.in.ogr -o can  
be displayed properly, I have been ignoring the message.
