[GRASS5] CygWIN: MinGW compilation of R/GRASS interface

[Markus Neteler]

Dear Roger,

here a first test report:
The installation of the new GRASS/R interface according to
http://grass.itc.it/statsgrass/grass_r_insthints.html

[for those being interested, it's simply
 
> install.packages("GRASS")

]

works 100% ok on Linux.

Congratulations,
 
 Markus
