 default also for {{{v.in.ogr}}}.

 to set -o as default means override dataset projection by default?

 No, I am not speaking about CLI, but just about wxGUI dialog for multi-
 import (gdialogs.py).
 Anyway I would to suggest to add '-o' to v.external (to be consistent with
 r.external).

 > The new wxGUI dialog is not consistent with regard to OGR layers and OGR
 datasources, for e.g. *.gpx and *.kml files, datasources are listed as
 layers, although these datasources hold layers themselves. With so many
 different supported OGR formats, I would strongly opt to at least stick to
 the terminology used by OGR in regard to what is a datasource and what is
 a layer to avoid user confusion.

 Right, I am just not getting point in which ways is wxGUI dialog wrong.
