 due notice...


 r.in.gdal, r.external, v.in.ogr in all branches:

 The -e flag must only extend the current mapset's WIND, not the default
 one.
 Writing outside of the current mapset is completely forbidden!

 Not even g.region lets you do this; if you want to update the
 DEFAULT_WIND you have to own and be in PERMANENT already. Not doing so
 breaks the multi-user model.
 The only time writing to DEFAULT_WIND is allowed is if you are creating a
 new location; AFAICT v.in.lidar in trunk acts that way.

 (n.b. i.rectify is a historical anomaly)
