Ok, I had a look at v.[in|out].dxf{2} :
I've synchronised v.in.dxf and v.in.dxf2 (merging the
modifications done in both versions) : Markus, you can
throw away v.in.dxf2 : v.in.dxf is the updated version
(I have commited the changes in the current CVS tree)
Thanks, Michel. I have updated the release branch now (as
you wrote into the exp tree) and removed the v.in.dxf2.
BTW, you can also delete the nps_dxf directory in v.in.dxf :
it contains old stuff that is no more usefull (put it in
the attic 
O.k., done.
I looked also v.out.dxf and the actual export sheme is the
following, with
GBVF = Grass Binary Vector File (in $LOCATION/dig...)
GAVF = Grass Ascii Vector file (in $LOCATION/dig_ascii)
GBVF <-- v.in.arc <------------------------------ ESRI ungenerate files
GBVF --> v.out.arc -----------------------------> ESRI ungenerate files
GBVF <-- v.in.shape <---------------------------- ESRI shapefile
GBVF --> v.out.shape ---------------------------> ESRI shapefile
GBVF <-- m.in.e00 <------------------------------ .e00 ESRI export file
GBVF --> v.out.e00 -----------------------------> .e00 ESRI export file
GBVF <-- v.in.mif <------------------------------ mif/mid Mapinfo
GBVF --> v.out.mapinfo -------------------------> mif/mid Mapinfo
GBVF <--------------------------- v.in.dxf <----- .dxf file
GBVF <-- v.in.ascii <--- GABF <-- v.in.dxf -a <-- .dxf file
GBCF --> v.out.ascii --> GABF --> v.out.dxf ----> .dxf file
Conclusion :
1- The dig_ascii directory seems only usefull for v.out.dxf, which
should be rewritten to read binary vector files. After that,
v.[in|out].ascii should write anywhere (same thing as other import/
export programs), and act as a general utility.
Here David and Radim may propose a solution.
2- v.out.mapinfo should certainly be named v.out.mif for consistency
(or v.in.mif renamed v.in.mapinfo)
We have both v.out.mapinfo and v.out.mif. Which one is current and
working (hi David)? We should remove any old version.
3- v.in.dlg and v.out.dlg seems to use a DLG directory in $LOCATION
Oh - another candidate... 
4- I didn't look at v.[in|out].atlas, nor v.in.gshhs, nor v.out.moss
(is moss output really usefull ?)
I am not sure if v.[in|out].atlas is really working? Does anyone know?
And: shall we keep v.out.moss?
v.in.gshhs should read from the current directory (it uses fopen).
It is in working condition.
Thanks for the update, Michel,
Markus
