Well, at this stage Paul and I (whenever work and kids leave me some
time) seem to be the only ones actually working on this. If this is such
a priority, then more people need to become involved, at least for testing.

I have only started a more systematic test drive and have already come
up with a whole series of issues (of which some might not be winGRASS
related). And this is only using some very basic import/export and
display modules...

Maybe we should make daily/weekly binary snapshots available so that
every person on this list that has access to a windows machine can try
to reproduce the last three tasks they did in GNU/Linux, Cygwin or Mac
OSX with the native version ?
