Micha,

   My reason for writing was having had raster files imported incorrectly.
Using 'gdalinfo -proj4' gave me the proj.4 strings to define their
projection and I wanted to pass those strings on the command line when
starting grass in text mode.

   The approach I took used the '-gtext' startup option to present the GUI
location wizard. There I was able to enter the proj.4 strings and correctly
import the raster files.
