Please look at (and amend)

Currently, the following i.* modules do not compile (also the info at 
http://geog-pc40.ulb.ac.be/grass/wingrass/, notably winmakeerror.log):

/c/grasssrc/grass6/imagery/i.class
/c/grasssrc/grass6/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2image
/c/grasssrc/grass6/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2target
/c/grasssrc/grass6/imagery/i.points
/c/grasssrc/grass6/imagery/i.vpoints

All of these won't work because they interactively use x-monitors which 
do not work on Windows (see last night's post by Glynn on that question: 
http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2008-January/034965.html). 
So, I'm not sure that it is really worth spending any time on trying to 
solve compilation problems on them. They should be (and partly are - 
i.e. i.points/i.vpoints are replaced by the georectifier in gis.m) 
replaced by a combination of non-interactive modules and a gui layer.

However, what would be good to study and solve are the compilation 
errors for r.terraflow and r.li*...
