 g.message is a bad choice, as on fast machine with fast WMS server it too
 soon gets burried in >200 tile downloading messages.

 Glynn: no idea. It's too hardcore for me. Still IMHO buffer owerflow isn't
 the right way how to deal with error conditions.

 It would be nice if r.in.wms could calculate resulting arg length and fail
 if it exceeds systems capabilities (theoretical limits).
