[GRASS-dev] location invalid if PERMANENT contains no WIND file ?

[Michael Barton]

I understand, but thought that the section where this is checked in init.sh
was still broken with regard to crashing on startup with incorrect or empty
GISDBASE, LOCATION, or MAPSET. If that part is already fixed, we only need
to fix the particular item you ran into.
