There has been a thread about how v.transform functions and Glynn pointed
out that part of the problem is that the short description does not really
describe what it does, at least from a GIS perspective:

" Transforms a vector map layer from one coordinate system into another
coordinate system."

I'm working on wxgrass menus at the moment and trying to come up with useful
menu entries. A better short description for v.transform might be:

"Reposition (shift and rotate) vector file in coordinate space"

Thoughts?
