It is mails as the one below which make me think that we should publish
binaries of the current version of winGRASS which are way better then
the one we advertise now (i.e. Huidae's).

In case it helps someone else, I seem to have fixed at least part of the
problem.  In the grass.bat file, the path was pointing to the wrong
place for PostgreSQL (I have 8.2 installed, but the original was set to
8.1).  So I changed:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.1\bin

to

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\8.2\bin.

Which seems to have been the culprit.  It would appear to work now--I
just have to figure out what I am doing!
