Using the -c flag and location= option, g.proj will set up a new location 
with a PERMANENT mapset and PROJ_INFO, PROJ_UNITS, WIND and DEFAULT_WIND 
(these are all the files you need for a valid GRASS location). The WIND 
and DEFAULT_WIND can be set up correctly with g.region. You would need to 
change the current location from within a GRASS session; I'm not sure 
off-hand how to do this but if you search the mailing list archives you 
will find some examples (really just amounts to changing some variables 
using g.gisenv I think). When you have finished with a location you can 
delete it with rm -rf I suppose.

Did you try this with g.proj and it didn't work for you---have you got a 
script with problems that needs debugged yet or not got that far?
