Maybe John can test as well on his WIN-Port.

Wow, sounds very good. This might simplify the install procedure
on WIN systems.

I agree. As both drivers can co-exist it should not be a problem.

Concerning all:
The branching should be started. I fear I need some assistance to
avoid problems. As GRASS 5 is currently working pretty good (of
course bugs exist), I may start the next days. Or is branching
as trivial as tagging? Two version tags are already applied.
So I will read again the CVS book...
