[GRASS5] Libgrass_gis on mingw - spawn.c / make_loc.c patches

[Javier A. Yebrin]

Hi all,

Returning to the Grass compilation under MINGW and since finally I was able
to compile almost all raster modules, I'll start to propose the
modifications I've made, in order to make them available to the world.

The first two patches, because of a simple and straightforward
implementation, have been applied already. Just search for the MINGW ifdefs
in spawn.c and make_loc.c, in lib/gis.

Soon other "heavier" patches will follow.

Cheers,
Javier

The code which uses sys/wait.h is currently unused. You can disable
compilation of it by removing spawn.o from the definition of LIB_OBJS
in lib/gis/Makefile. That will get over that particular problem.
However, you may well run into similar problems building code which is
actually used.
