 described by stu.  If I use horizontal and vertical units of meters, the
 plot is perfect.  If I change to horizontal and vertical units of feet,
 the Y axis of elevations is displayed correctly, but the X axis is
 squished to stop at the unit value in meters rather than feet.  Example:
 I had a 800 meter transect, but when reprojected to feet and profiled, the
 graph stops at 800 feet rather than the approximate 2600.  The endpoint
 triangle, however, is placed around the 2600 distance.  It's as if it
 thinks the units are meters horizontal.

 profiling tool just takes the values as they are. I wonder if this should
 be changed in r.profile rather than in the GUI?

 I fixed this problem in GUI (r61269). Please test. Still it would be worth
 changing the behavior of r.profile (and then revert this commit).
