[GRASS-user] Datum not recognized by Grass

There are some solutions to the problem of datum
<Qatar_National_Datum_1995> not recognized by GRASS:

- add Qatar_National_Datum_1995 to the datums known by GRASS
- ignore the warning and use GRASS with PROJ6, granted that authority name
(e.g. EPSG) and authority code (e.g. 2932) are known for both CRS's in case
of reprojection

The problem is that GRASS still assumes datum transformation from X to
WGS84, whereas with PROJ6, WGS84 is no longer required as pivot datum.
Datum transformations from datum X to datum Y can sometimes (often) be done
without going through WGS84. The requirement is to have EPSG or other
authority codes and to use PROJ 6.
