 Trying to create a location with EPSG codes in WinGRAS-6.4_RC3 using the
 WX-GUI gives following error: "Unable to read EPSG codes: string index out
 of range"

 The path to epsg file is correct, and the file is normal. It seems
 wingrass cannot parse the epsg file.

 Work around: Change directory symbol in path to epsg file from "\" to "/".
 Enter a known epsg code (eg. search spatialrefernce.org for the correct
 code) in the EPSG box, and press "next". Grass creates new location.

 This work around does not let one "Browse EPSG codes", however. If one
 trys to do so, the same error "Unable to read EPSG codes: string index out
 of range" pops up.

 This bug occurs in both osgeo4W version and the native installer version
 of WinGRASS-6.4_RC3
