Comment (by wenzeslaus):

 As for using the name `LOCATION` to mean "full path to a mapset",
 remaining places are the following:

 The main in the variable defined for the shell in `lib/init/grass.py`.
 That seems to be only interface-related usage. I think this should be
 replaced by something else like `MAPSET_PATH` or `FULL_MAPSET`.

 There is something in `lib/init/README` which would likely use general
 update.

 There might be some bad examples in existing code, these two may qualify:
 `raster/r.mapcalc/testsuite/const_map_test.sh` and
 `testsuite/raster/raster_md5test.sh`.

 There are places which need deeper look, namely `lib/gis/make_mapset.c`
 and `lib/gis/location.c`.
