 Helena:
 > maybe the previous approach under C:\GRASS... was less problematic?

 I'll admit that I've sort of come around to the idea that flushing out as
 many of these bugs / microsoftisms as we can now in one big push is
 preferable to letting them slowly trickle in slowly over the next year..

 We can put a warning on the WinGrass download page that Windows 7 is still
 only lightly tested and here are some tips... (right click to install, if
 you experience problems try reinstalling it in c:\grass64\, etc.)

 Microsoft users will be more accustomed to reinstalling software to
 magically solve problems, so we shouldn't get too many weird looks for
 suggesting users try that if python flakes out.
