I would argue that it is G_make_mapset() that should be used whenever
possible :)
(which of course, is being used by g.mapset -c, too)

I adjusted the wxGUI startup wizard and the tests in trunk r74472,3 (the

I think that in the nc_spm_full_v2alpha dataset WIND and DEFAULT_WIND
differ, so 74473 might break any tests that don't explicitly set the region
themselves (which of course they should). We will see.
