[GRASS-dev] New WinGRASS Installer

sorry, I'm late... yesterday night I had my first "friends, music and beer 
meeting" since last 3 months... so... you can understand :-)

yes, there's something to discuss here. You're right when you say that it's 
not a different version of GRASS, it's still 6.3.0, but it's not exactly a 
simple different version of the installer. Yes, the installer may be 
different, but I usually release a new "installer" (that is a new binary 
release) when I introduced changes in GRASS or its dependencies binaries 
(adding new supports to GRASS or updating dependencies); that is because 
WinGRASS is still at a high development stage, and it may happen that, 
between source releases, I add new features or complete some To-Do items 
about supports/dependencies.

This said, could we replace the word "version" in the message box with 
"binary release" or simply "release"? that would be, actually  more 
"honest"; do you agree?

Regards,

Marco
