 When creating a new location based on a Shapefile, location wizard imports
 it into the new location, still it's done in 2D mode thus losing all Z
 coordinates of dataset.

 This is worse than not importing at all as when user is forced to use
 import module (v.in.ogr), it might notice -z option and enable it. Current
 behaviour might lead to data loss (delete shapefile without checking
 metadata in GRASS) or wrong conclusions that GRASS doesn't support 3D
 shapefiles (WRONG!).
