I would like to comment a little on this. "Location" seems a very sane
term to me, I wouldn't like to see it replaced. Maybe it is different
for English native speakers, but for my Polish fellow Grass users
learning what a location is, and using that term, was never a problem.
Also, "Project" could lead to confusing "reproject data from one project
to another" instead of "reproject data from one location to another".
