 FYI instead of the installation path in windows written in the startup-
 script grass64svn.bat by the nsis-installer once during installation:

 (http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/mswindows
 /GRASS-Installer.nsi#L645)

 for example

 {{{
 [...]
 rem Set GRASS Installation Directory Variable
 set GRASSDIR=C:\Program Files\GRASS-64-SVN
 [...]
 }}}

 I've tried following in the startup-script grass64svn.bat

 {{{
 [...]
 set GRASSDIR=%~dps0
 set GRASSDIR=%GRASSDIR:~0,-1%
 [...]
 }}}

 the installation path is expanded in the short form without a trailing
 backslash.

 wingrass64 is starting and working normally.

 so maybe this way of getting the shortform of the installation path could
 help for ''make'' used by g.extension (maybe also for the +nadgrids-
 problem with spaces in path, ...)?

 p.s. any idea about http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1103 (releasing the
 windows command line)
