I would suggest two installers: one for GRASS alone, and one for the
various dependencies (PROJ, GDAL, MSys, ...). The idea is that you
shouldn't have to download all of the dependencies each time a new
version of GRASS is released.

An ideal solution would be to use Cygwin's Setup utility, but I don't
know how much work would be involved.
