[GRASS-dev] gis.m: v.external missing

Hello all,

It seems that v.external is not included in the gis.m. Any special reason for that ?

It's in Vector, Vector<->database connections.

Though IMHO it is arguable whether it shouldn't go to File, Import,
Vector instead, ?

I thought about this in where to put it too when I originally organized the
menus for GRASS 6. The reason it ended up where it is, is that it doesn't
actually import anything, but acts kind of v.db.connect. On the other hand,
it kind of seems like it imports shape files even if it doesn't.

One of the useful grey areas of GRASS.
