 Hi all,

 Even if I named the short summary as "Enhancement", some changes to the
 qgm GRASS modules I'm proposing here are in fact major priorities, since
 many modules don't work as expected/needed.

 A brief summary of the previous job, already posted to the list:

 New/modified/renamed modules introduced in the previous job:

 - g.region.save

 - g.region.zoom

 - g.region.multiple.raster

 - g.region.multiple.vector

 - r.patch

 - v.patch

 - r.proj

 - r.proj.res

 - v.in.db

 - v.in.ogr

 - v.in.ogr.loc

 - v.in.ogr.all

 - v.in.ogr.all.loc

 - v.in.shape

 - v.in.shape.loc

 for more details on the changes listed above, see:
 http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2008-May/003797.html

 News in the current job:

 I modified descriptions of some g.proj modules (IMHO not correctly
 reflecting the real job of the modules) and added the g.proj.ascii module
 for coherency:

 Module - New description

 - g.proj.print - Print projection information of the current location

 - g.proj.geo - Print projection information from a georeferenced file
 (raster, vector or image)

 - g.proj.ascii - Print projection information from a georeferenced ASCII
 file containing a WKT projection description

 - g.proj.proj - Print projection information from a PROJ.4 projection
 description file

 - g.proj.geo.new - Print projection information from a georeferenced file
 (raster, vector or image) and create a new location based on it

 - g.proj.ascii.new - Print projection information from a georeferenced
 ASCII file containing a WKT projection description and create a new
 location based on it

 - g.proj.proj.new - Print projection information from a PROJ.4 projection
 description file and create a new location based on it

 Then I found that the g.proj.region is not included in the default.qgc
 configuration file, and that it is actually an useless module

 As usual, all the changes have been tested on the svn 0.10.0 release code.

 Summarizing, I suggest to test as follows:

 1. remove g.proj.region (.qgm + .1.png) [not included in
 ./config/default.qgc and actually useless]

 2. remove g.region (.qgm + .1.png) [replaced by g.proj.save]

 3. remove g.proj.print.2.png [according to the new ./config/default.qgc
 layout, where I *normalized* the tree]

 4. add the new modules (extract the zip to ../src/plugins/grass/modules
 and modify the ./config/default.qgc patching the svn qgis-trunk diff
 attached]

 run cmakesetup .. to apply the changes in default.qgc, then build

 Best regards,

 Marco
