The best method is to use a symbolic link, pointing to the file you need as
category file.  There is also a method to directly assign a numeric category
as the new attribute value (may be usefull to assign the correct level to a
set of contour lines, etc.) : you have to use v.reclass with a slightly
modified category file (look at the manual for reclass and the difference
with a cat file : a simple script with sed piped to v.reclass do the trick)
