 In a location with a geographic crs, the region outputs (esp. the unit
 formats) of vector and raster layers differs from each other.
 v.info prints the region in decimal degrees (DD) whereas r.info produces
 an output in degrees,minutes,seconds (DMS).

 For example (nc_ll location from www.grassbooks.org):
 {{{
  > v.info -g precip_30ynormals
  north=36.49917
  south=33.99472
  east=-75.62194
  west=-84.02389
  top=1615.440000
  bottom=2.438400

  > r.info -g elev_ned_03arcsec
  north=35:54:40.666666N
  south=35:35:17.334885N
  east=78:27:08.335106W
  west=78:49:17.333333W
 }}}
 For parsing both ouputs with external tools, it would be better if the
 formats were equal (preferably decimal degrees).
