 Replying to [comment:8 hamish]:
 >  * If it matters I can probably replace bc with the more common awk to
 do the math.

 installing and shipping bc and readline in the wingrass-installer is no
 problem

 >  * No, it really does need to be #!/bin/bash. Variable arrays[n] are not
 present in plain old sh, and if you try without bash you get errors like
 you see in the previous post.

 ah ok. what's about bash in msys, is beyond my knowledge at the moment

 >  * wget can be replaced by curl if it is installed; there's a flag. But
 really we/msys should ship a copy of wget in our windows package. (fwiw
 Mac ships curl not wget)

 osgeo4w ships curl

 >  * r.in.wms for 6.4 is a problematic dead end. The new Python rewrite
 for grass 7 is where the future is. (using new GDAL/OGR drivers if
 possible)

 ok

 >  * I half expect more problems to show up as the shell script version of
 this module has a number of issues, even on Linux.
