[GRASS-user] Creating a new mapset

[Joel Pitt]

Thanks Hamish.

I was going to essentially do something similar, but wasn't sure what
the minimal required files/dirs in a location were.

Perhaps g.mapset should have a '-a' flag to add a new mapset? I know
it is pretty simple to carry out creating a dir and copying the file -
but for usability I think having this flag would be a good idea.

I'm happy to code it myself if people are happy with this change, so
long as someone can add it to cvs...
