[GRASS5] Identify GRASS database directory

[B. Byars]

Hi Bernhard,

Sorry for the slow response (our university ISP is having more problems -sigh-)
but yes, the WIND file is common to all GRASS database directories.  Are you
thinking of a script to find the WIND files to identify the GRASS data directories?

I've got something that we could modify for this if that's what you're thinking.
Let
me know and we'll go from there.
