see attached patch. (untested)


question- earlier in the v.in.ogr code as part of the projection-override check
there is a comment:
/* G_get_window seems to be unreliable if the location has been changed */
G__get_window ( &loc_wind, "", "DEFAULT_WIND", "PERMANENT");


should we worry about that for the extend flag?
