These are three different projection locations that I have set up over
the past year with ever changing GRASSes.  tcl/tk interface up to the
new GRASS6.4.1svn.  I have consistently kept everything in the correct
projections for input data.

ftbn: utm nad83 grs80 zone 17
srs: utm nad83 grs80 zone 17
ftbn: utm nad83 grs80 zone 17


should I be worried that the ProjInfo files for the three below differ
slightly?  Can I safely make them all look the same?  Does this
matter?  Thanks in advance for all of the help.
