this info doesn't do you much good now, but for others' benefit:
whenever possible, trying to digitize the boundary of something first.
Then, g.copy this file and try to register it before you begin
a new set of features. E.g., Texas has boundaries that I would not
want to digitize more than once:
  g.copy vect=boundary.tx,counties.tx
  v.digit (counties.tx)
  g.copy vect=boundary.tx,riverss.tx
  v.digit (rivers.tx)
