I've changed it so that it identifies all of the mapsets involved,
e.g.:

	$ r.resample in=fields out=fields
	Creating support files for fields...
	creating new cats file...
	$ r.mapcalc foo = fields
	WARNING: 'cell/fields' was found in more mapsets (also found in PERMANENT).
	WARNING: using 'fields at glynn'.
