 Considering that the wxGUI interface to r.in.gdal/v.in.ogr does not handle
 the GDAL/OGR mapping of input bands(raster) / layers(vector) to
 files/directories/databases while GDAL/OGR does, because this mapping is
 format-specific, I would suggest to keep r.in.gdal and v.in.ogr as they
 are and introduce new wxGUI-specific modules r.import/v.import, or
 g.gui.r.import/g.gui.v.import. For example compare the two commonly used
 and GDAL supporteded formats AIG and GTiff, See also specifications for
 each of the GDAL supported formats [0] and the OGR supported formats [1].
