 * \brief Create a new mapset
 *
 * This function creates a new mapset in the given location,
 * initializes default window and the current window.
 *
 * Calls G_fatal_error() if location doesn't exist.
 *
 * \param gisdbase_name full path of GISDBASE to create mapset in
 *                      (NULL for the current GISDBASE)
 * \param location_name name of location to create mapset in
 *                      (NULL for the current location)
 * \param mapset_name   Name of the new mapset. Should not include
 *                      the full path, the mapset will be created within
 *                      the specified database and location.
 *
 * \return 0 on success
 * \return -1 to indicate a system error (check errno).
 * \return -2 illegal name
