[GRASS-dev] 2D to 3D points

[Benjamin Ducke]

That should work but it may not exactly be easy to locate for a
novice user.

How about a little wrapper script for v.transform that simplifies
this action?

I am increasingly concerned about the number of, sometimes basic,
geoprocessing functions that are present in GRASS but "hidden"
in complex module options. Of course people can always mail to
this list but in the first place it will create frustration for
them and possible turn them away.
