 +proj string in the WKT of v.out.ogr and r.out.gdal maps.
 OK.

 > EPSG number is expanded, it's not really a reverable process (e.g. datum
 transform params can be added after).
 But difficult at time when you want to reproject data outside GRASS with
 gdal or ogr based on EPSG number.

 > Also, what does GMT format look like?
 It's like:
  -JB-100/35/33/45/6i

 May aim with this proposal is to ease the process of sharing projection
 information.
 proj4 has its format which can be printed by GRASS.
 ESRI hat its format which can be saved by v.out.ogr
 GMT have another format...
 So I though that EPSG would unify this a bit.
