[GRASS-user] v.out.ogr & kml

Hello,
when exporting from a projected system to KML, is a reprojection into
WGS84 included?

in the manual there is:
v.out.ogr input=random3d_hull dsn=random3d_hull.kml format=KML \
   type=face dsco="AltitudeMode=absolute"

Let's say I use the EPSG:2965 projection. in my works. Exporting to KML 
needs a re-projection to EPSG4326 (WGS84). On command line, this is done 
my -t_srs "EPSG:4326".
Can this option be included into the v.out.ogr module?

If not, one would need an additional step of re-projection on the 
commandline or witth other tools.

Kind regards,
Timmie
