cs2cs hints:

get cs2cs parms for the current location with "g.proj -j" or "g.proj -jf"

lat/lon wgs84 is:
  +proj=longlat +towgs84=0.000,0.000,0.000


mind (GRASS's +proj=latlong) == (PROJ4's +proj=longlat) !!,
[shouldn't g.proj -j output in PROJ.4 style!?]
anyway it's always a good idea to reality-check output if you can.


see m.proj in GRASS 6.1 for an easy cs2cs frontend:

Expert help for cs2cs is available from the proj mailing list.
