[GRASS-dev] v.in.ogr parameter displays as optional instead of required

In v.in.ogr, the output parameter shows as 'optional' in the gis.m gui (6.3.cvs), when it's actually required:

$ v.in.ogr dsn=. type=point layer=Matthew_2007006_Nav_JD127_MinasChannel
ERROR: Required parameter <output> not set

Probably a simple swapping of words is all that's required?

Parameter 'output' is not required by default because of -l or -f
flag. It is required only if you are going to import data.
