"Finding" a map (or other "element") in a mapset has both generic
versions (G_find_file()) and type-specific versions (G_find_cell(),
G_find_vector()), so a G_find_* variant which returns the qualified
name would have generic and type-specific versions.
A function solely to return the qualified name of the current mask
should probably go into mask_info.c.
