Thanks for your efforts!

Still...

v.out.gps -t input=railroads output=trail.gpx

I believe that cs2cs should get the equivalent to the -g flag in GRASS which
makes the output truely machine-readable.

Perhaps we concentrate on more important issues than v.out.gps and
let it rest for now. Thanks, Glynn, I am sure that m.proj is way better now.
