 A user reported that units are being reported as "unknown" for a new GRASS
 mapset created with the GRASS plugin. It was occurring, specifically, with
 epsg 26745 (California Zone V, NAD27). I verified the same on my build
 from trunk.

 Creating the mapset within grass using the location wizard and epsg code
 26745 produces the correct PROJ_UNITS (unit = US Survey Foot, and units =
 US Survey Feet). It is unclear why the PROJ_UNITS are unknown and unknowns
 for unit and units, respectively, when the mapset is created from qgis.
