Comment(by neteler):

 Replying to [ticket:1905 marisn]:
 ...
 > Import should fail as there's a "small" difference between UTM 36N and
 36S but GRASS just announces "location appears to match" and imports file.

 The code in question is here:
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/lib/gis/make_loc.c#L164
 -> G_compare_projections()

 There is no check for UTM in terms of "north" and "south". Since I always
 struggle
 with strings, no idea how to implement that. Might be easy, though.
