Comment(by hamish):

 we have a couple of choices on how it should work:

 if not in PERMANENT:
  * extend current WIND + newly imported map

 if in PERMANENT:
  * extend DEFAULT_WIND + newly imported map

 then
  * stop
 or
  * extend WIND + newly imported map
 or
  * replace WIND based on extended DEFAULT_WIND + new map

 in all cases a message will be output stating what has happened.


 so when you're in PERMANENT both WIND and DEFAULT_WIND would get updated.
 but then should WIND and DEFAULT_WIND expand independently, or is it
 reasonable to just write out the newly expanded DEFAULT_WIND and
 completely replace PERMANENT's WIND? (this is how 'r.in.gdal -e' is
 currently coded in trunk)


 any preference on how this should work?
