[GRASS-dev] r.proj, v.proj ignore overwrite

This may have been mentioned a month ago? but I notice that v.proj
(& r.proj?) ignores overwrite settings and overwrites a map without
needing the --o flag set.

Neither of them have gisprompt settings for their options.

Glynn:

r.proj didn't, but v.proj does.

v.proj uses G_define_standard_option(G_OPT_V_OUTPUT) which sets:
    Opt->gisprompt = "new,vector,vector";

You do get the "WARNING: file exists and will overwritten" message.
(but by the time you read that you have already started writing, so no
way out)
