Trying again, this time controlling my fingers a bit better ;-)

Actually the problem was that msys was installed as /msys/1.0/ instead of
just /msys. Solved that by moving around msys directories. Now no more
bison errors.

Did that and it works.

Now the only errors I get are the following. Of these all are probably
expected, or ? (The gui/tcltk/menus is an issue of the Makefile not being
updated when the common menus were removed. Needs to be fixed in CVS.)

Did that. I also added a 'set GRASS_WISH=' command in grass63.bat, as it
didn't seem to find my wish command.

Now I see a message in cmd.exe: ERROR: LOCATION_NAME not set and an empty
'gis_set' window. When I close that window, the gis.m starts up but then
crashes and closes very quickly.




Launching grass63 within msys, I see the following issues at first glance:

- the dbf driver now launches (I can see the terminal window flashing),
but I get a 'dbmi: Protocol error', be for 'v.info -c' or for
'v.db.select'. Don't know how to debug this. I'll have to install
postgresql or sqlite to test with other db backends.

- everytime I a map display gets refreshed, I see 'etc/freetypecap: No
FreeType definition file

- v.buffer fails with a windows error while the topology is being built.
Launching v.build on the resulting file I get the warning that the coor
file of the map is larger than it should be

So, very promising as compilation seems to work, and I can already nicely
display and overlay maps. The dbmi error keeps me from using several of
the vector modules (v.buffer, v.overlay). I've tried a few raster modules
randomly (shaded relief, raster buffer, r.bilinear) and they worked.
