 it's very out of date (it was back-ported shortly after the first draft of
 the code was added to 7.0, and hasn't been updated since).

 significantly, and back-porting the write support isn't really an option.

 fresh grass65svn (r40780), self compiled with default configure options
 in /mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh

 =>"d.rast -o map=testRlink at user1" is working and the linked testRlink-data
 is displayed in the wx-gui!

 what is the difference between Grass64 and Grass65 in this case?

 maybe anyone else can test the nightly builts of Grass64 and Grass65 for
 this issue?
