you mean:
wingrass_sources.tar	13-Mar-2008 11:48 	 45M
?

I am not sure if we should really store that on the OSGeo
server. Then we have to do the same also for all the other
binaries and fill up the server space with overhead.
If you insist, I suggest to discuss this on the GRASS-PSC list.

We could store the hard-to-get sources, but why host PROJ4,
GDAL and such?
