Initial Comment:
In v.in.ogr (in the gui), in the "output name" field [Name for output vector map:], in the descriptive text in the parenthesis it sais:

"(output: name, optional)"

Should the optional be "required"?

IIRC it is optional because you might want to just list the available layers in the input OGR source (-l flag), in which case you don't need to specify an output map.

My bad; through a weird coincidence I was already editing the description.html for v.in.ogr
when Nikos's bug report came through the list. I thought he was reporting the man page typo that I was
in the midst of correcting. I haven't changed the output parameter to 'required' either in the C code
or the docs.
