Comment(by mlennert):
Replying to [ticket:2401 micha]:
> According to the manual, v.distance should, in a long-lat LOCATION,
return geodesic distances in meters on a sphere, rather than in degrees.
This works in the cases of point to point, and point to line.
>
> However in the case of point to boundary the module returns distances in
degrees, and not geodesic distance.
I've attached a patch that solves the issue for me, but it could do with
some more testing.
