Subject: d.zoom: always alligns to resolution = data corruption

When you d.zoom on a raster where data cells are not alligned to the resolution
(eg. usually ArcInfo rasters, SRTM tiles), your resulting region gets alligned
to the current resolution value instead of the cell borders. This causes serious
problems, examples:
1. r.to.vect output is shifted from cell's center
2. r.mapcalc 'copy=map' actually doesn't produce an exact copy, but it's shifted
version
3. reprojecting with r.proj will lead to wrong (shifted) results
This looks to me like a data corruption issue. I wonder how many people out there
are corrupting their data not knowing it.
