New description:

 {{{
 1. Install GRASS in C:\GRASS
 2. Check C:\GRASS\msys\home\, in this folder C\Documents and
 Settings\MYNAME is created during install, where grass63 is sitting.
 3. Run Start\Programs\GRASS\GRASS MSYS Console
 4. Check C:\Gis\GRASS\msys\home\ again, now in this folder MYNAME
 (lowercase) folder is created, without grass63 file in it.
 }}}


 Needless to say, that even if I move grass63 from the folder made
 right after install
 {{{
 "C:\GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and Settings\MYNAME"
 to the one created on first run of MSYS
 "C:\GRASS\msys\home\MYNAME"
 }}}
 GRASS GUI starts with error messages, grass63 -text doesn't start at all,
 producing "Redirection is not supported" message.

 Removing .grassrc6 from C:\GRASS\msys\home\C\Documents and
 Settings\USERNAME\
 and .grassrc6 from C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\
 doesn't help.

 The problem was replicated on at least 4 more machines by other
 people under the same operating system and grass version.

Comment (by neteler):

 Recent GRASS 6.4 should no longer have (much?) problems with white space
 in the install path. Please retry with a new winGRASS version from
