 v.generalize manual. I could not find any clue that the generalize
 algorithm will simply stop and retain the boundary untouched IF any
 topology damage occurs during processing. The good workarounds must also
 find a way to the manual -- to slice-down the input adequately, then to
 apply v.generalize and v.dissolve, or to apply multiple v.generalize steps
 with increasing distance.

 I have updated the manual and changed the error output to contain errors
 in trunk r68451. The error output now allows to understand why a
 particular feature was not generalized.
