You don't need v.extract. Export the whole layer using v.out.ogr, and then either split (and reproject) using ogr2ogr or do both using my ogrdecode tool for TerraGear, which I have sent in a patch to Curt a long time ago ;-) But that patch is also in the fgfs-builder. And as a side node: We are planning to actually do an Oshkosh scenery using Landsat data. The more experiments and experience we have with that procedure, the better.
