[GRASSLIST:4831] Re: Problems importing Data into lat/lon with negtiv south value

[Michael Barton]

When I was trying to expand my r.in.aster script to include MODIS data, I
got a message from Frank Warmerdam (GDAL head developer) that there was a
problem in georeferencing MODIS with GDAL. If I remember, I think it had to
do with the MODIS metadata that gdalwarp would use for georeferencing.
