[GRASS-dev] Updated WinGrass release installer now available

[Colin Nielsen]

I just looked at Marco's again and realized that he had nviz working
under tcltk, but I think he didn't have the wxpython GUI which has a
new nviz system.

Perhaps someone (martinl?) can tell us what it will take to get wxNviz
on wingrass.
