[GRASS5] Cygwin build for 110401

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Markus, John, Malcolm,

i think that we should go first with the installable tar.gz tarball that
Malcolm uploaded. 

If we upload an untested zip file without instructions to install we
will get masses of emails asking for help. I can not provide individual
installation support. 

If the nviz wish is not installed properly, we should modify the
makefile. 

I still insist to make the whole procedure as general as possible. I
believe we should not rely on manual tweaking or on individual
configurations.
And i don't like the idea of distributing binary files that can not be
automatically rebuild. 

John, could you please post what you did to compile nviz2.2? Is this
going through the X11 libraries or with the Windows GUI library?
Does the StarNet X Server support OpenGL? I don't think so. 

Building PostgresSQL support seems to need the PostgreSQL source
package, my compile dies with message "missing postgres.h". The Postgres
package changed several times the last week. We should wait until this
settles down and we have the opportunity to test the setup. 

I did much testing yesterday and will prepare a short report. v.digit
has a very unusual behaviour (you have to press RETURN after each
message), but seems to work generally.

cu,

Andreas
