Now the import wizard just silently imports anything without even informing
the user that reprojection is happening. This does not always make sense and
is a potential path to many disasters...

Projection handling is not easy, but IMHO it is one of the strengths of
GRASS to force the user to think about it. I agree that r./v.import are a
very nice convenience, but their use should at least result from a conscious
decision, not out of ignorance...

the current implementation in trunk should be improved. Please feel
free to contribute.

IMHO, the best solution, as Paulo already said, would be to have r.in.gdal/v.in.ogr as the default import modules used by the import dialog. A checkbox (unchecked by default) could propose to "Reproject maps to current projection system before import" or something like that.

For now, I propose to revert import_export.py to r65634 and to see if everyone agrees with the above proposal of how to integrate the *.import modules.
