[GRASS-dev] v.info Projection info

Hi,
I found that Vect_open_old_head() does not set Map.proj:
struct Map_info Map;
Map.proj = -1;
Vect_open_old_head(&Map, mapname, mapset);
printf("%d\n", Map.proj); /* prints -1 */
For this reason, v.info always prints out "Projection: x,y (zone ...)"
(Map.proj == 0 == PROJECTION_XY) regardless of its actual projection.
It seems like to me there is no projection info in vector files. If
individual vector files cannot have a different projection from its
location, why doesn't v.info use G_database_projection_name() like
r.info does?
