Should each of $GISDABSE, $LOCATION_NAME, and $MAPSET have populated values
on location startup? These variables always remain blank for each location that
I try:

~ >echo $GISDBASE

~ >echo $LOCATION_NAME

~ >echo $MAPSET

are these variables only available from the shell if I export `g.gisenv` or eval `g.gisenv`
first?
