 I was giving a try to v.in.ogr pointing to a folder containing a few
 shapfiles and the results didn't convinced me. So I made a simple test.

 *) Created two simple shapefiles each containing one polygon, each polygon
 partially overlapping the one in the other shape
 *) Placed the shapes in one folder and run "v.in.ogr -o
 dsn=/home/gio/test_shapes output=test_import"

 The expected result was to obtain two layers each with one feature, as in
 the original shapes.

 Instead I get 3 layers:

 *) One with one feature, representing the overlap area
 *) Two representing the original polygons except for the fact they are
 made of two features: the "extra" feature is the overlap area

 Seems wrong to me, considering that if the poligons in the sample shapes
 do not overlap, then the results are the expected ones.
