At the C level, G__mapset_permissions() and G__mapset_permissions2()
determines whether or not a specific mapset can be used as the current
mapset (i.e. it's a directory, and you own it).

AFAIK, there isn't a user command to determine this. If it's useful,
it really belongs in g.mapset rather than g.mapsets, as the former
deals with the current mapset (used for output) while the latter deals
with the mapsets used for input.
