Replying to [comment:1 martinl]:
> Name of output vector map can be determined from input file name, e.g.
file.dxf become 'file' vector map if output parameter is not given.

v.in.dxf in GRASS6 as it is.
Agree re: GRASS6, just for compatibility's sake.
For 7.x, I have removed this kind of "magic" behaviour whenever I have
encountered it. Apart from anything else, it means that the overwrite
check has to be performed manually, rather than letting G_parser() do it.
It's worse for modules which create new maps (import and analysis). E.g.
it might be desired to add an option to the GUI to automatically add
newly-created maps to the map display. Obviously that can only work if the
GUI knows that a map has been created, and what it's called.
