whatever) with the
basic LOCATION info (i.e. a PERMANENT mapset with PROJ and
WIND files) and
the temp mapset. Shouldn't be too hard to wip up, or ?
Essentially a v.pack/v.unpack, right?

What would be really neat is if there was a way to delete, as well as archive a
location from the startup screen.
That should actually be much easier. Deleting just implies removing the
directory from the file system, archiving just needs a call to create a
tar ball or equivalent. So, essentially a small GUI to call one single
command.
v.pack/v.unpack would be different in that it should deal with
individual maps. even though I suggest to include the location info as
sort of meta-data, but also to give the possibility to v.unpack into a
new, stand-alone location. Don't know if the last is really necessary,
though. Just including necessary meta-data concerning the projection
system should be enough.
