It is nice to have the WIND file and its contents out in the open and
easy to look at from the file sytstem vs. being buried somewhere in a
hidden file. It's the one file (besides the dir) you need to make a new
(+ clean) mapset. Alternate $GISRC files would get confusing rather
quickly, bring along unwanted settings from the previous version, etc;
especially if they are persistent on the disk/not cleaned up.
