Besides _editing_ the PERMANENT/MYNAME file manually (later, not while
creating a Location), is there a "proper" way to do so? It is used for
example by the "header" instruction in ps.map.

Comment(by hamish):
Currently it's settable at the time that you create the location, after
that you need to edit the text file by hand.
in grass6 I'd add editing it as an option to g.setproj, not g.proj. Code
should be very similar to several r.support options. Not sure about in
grass7, I feel g.proj is already a bit overloaded wrt functionality, but
it's not enough for its own g.support module.
it's generally set-and-forget, so doesn't belong in g.gisenv as a
variable.

The ones who know the internals very well have a better idea on that.
Would it be really too much to add the "description=" to g.proj in G7?
