[GRASSLIST:7167] Importing VMAP0 as in GRASS-News vol. 3

[Harri Kiiskinen]

Hello,

Markus Neteler's article in GRASS-News vol. 3 on the VMAP0-data was
exemplary and interesting, but I still can't get the import to work as
expected. v.in.ogr produces empty files, even though everything seems to
be correct; only when importing everything, something comes through, but
only from the layer libref at libref(*)_line, nothing else.

Running the script in Fig. 3 of the article does not help. ogrinfo
gives this:

So no features. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to try them;
otherwise, I have no clue.
