vector length

I agree that v.report does a good job, but what is really needed is a
program that gives "on-the-ground" distance measurements; that is, takes in
to account rises and falls of elevation, so that we get TRUE distance
measurements, not just the distance along the smooth surface of an ellipsoid.
