[GRASS-user] create location from CLI

[Dave Roberts]

Thanks for clarification Markus, and thanks Helmut for similar input. 
So, the last problem is that

g.proj -c proj4=-

followed by input to stdin works, but I cannot seem to construct a file 
with proj4 parameters that g.proj will accept, even though identical 
information entered at stdin works.  So, I'm still struggling for the 
syntax of aproj4 file I guess.

Thanks all, Dave
