v.line.center as it is can't work in latlon Location. It uses v.to.db
for length calculation, which cannot measure in degrees, and then pipes
the result to v.segment, which assumes Location unit - if it's degree
the script won't work.

It would be cool if v.segment could accept offsets in various units.

I should fix v.line.center to check location units, and update the
manual. Someday.

Reproject the data into a metric location.
