 It's a case of different problems rather than more or fewer problems. The
 main problem with using C:\GRASS is that users may not have permission to
 create subdirectories of C:\. Some users may be unable to install GRASS
 anywhere other than their "My Documents" directory.

 For that reason, we '''need''' to find and fix these bugs before 6.4.0 is
 released.
