 data might need preprocessing (adding vertices to lines/boundaries) in
 order to provide realistic and topologically correct results. The
 reprojection option could IMHO be best implemented in a script which calls
 r.in.gdal/v.in.ogr and then r.proj/(v.split + v.proj).

 I had actually thought that it might be possible to integrate GDAL/OGR
 library tools such as GDALWarpOperation and OGRCoordinateTransformation
 directly into r.in.gdal/v.in.ogr.

 But maybe you're right and we should not touch the general GRASS structure
 of import into one location + reproject into another, and rather use a
 wrapper.
