you're welcome... did you already read my new GRASS Windows Native Binary Building Guide?
http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html <http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html> 
I'm updating it with packaging instructions
when I'll have enough free time I'll put it into GRASS trac

Do you think that libsqlite3-0.dll is enough? in my (built) sqlite directory I have /bin with 1 dll and 1 exe, /include with only includes and /lib dir with static libs.
Since the whole sqlite directory is less then 4MB I guess we can include it completely.
While about pgsql I agree to include only libpq.dll.
 
Marco

Marco,

First of all, I want to express my thanks on behalf of students here 
who are using GRASS on Windows. It is wonderful that you are doing 
this. (aside: Thanks also to Moritz and Glynn for showing us the way 
to achieve a WinGRASS package and for helping on this one).

My suggestion is that you include SQLite but not PostgreSQL. This way 
users have access to a pretty full-featured SQL dbms if they want it, 
a simpler dbf table format if that is all they need, and don't have 
the overhead of PostgreSQL.

Michael
