[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.4 Windows issues

[Michael Barton]

I think that the reason that it works for you is that you is that you  
built this on Vista. I'd bet that the OSGEO4W GRASS 6.4RC3 is built on  
XP.

It looks like we need both XP and Vista versions unless the Vista  
version works equally well on both.
