I've committed the patch, but changed mapset_opt->required to NO.

Initially, it should just be global, i.e. the switch can be used on
its own, with no other options required.

Anything more involved than that should be part of an overall redesign
of "required" options, e.g. option groups.

However, I'm not sure that even the simplest version should go into
6.3, the critical nature of the parser.
