 As reported on grass-user
 {{{
  g.proj -c georef=swilAlphaTIFF.tif location=tset
 }}}

 fails with recent builds. I can reproduce on linux.


 I traced this back to r37726 where wind_format.c's format_double()
 uses G_projection() which wants to check the projection type (and that
 hasn't been created yet).


 I think the solution is to create a new lib fn
 {{{
  char *G_format_number(double value, int dp);
 }}}

 so modules don't have to lie to G_format_northing() about their projection
 type in order to get numeric output from lat/lon locations. then we can
 get rid of G_projection() from format_double().

 Either that or finally implement GRASS_DMS_STYLE variable and temporarily
 set that to numeric degree style.
