 WinGrass65 WinVista32

 r.patch.exe renamed to r.helli.exe and started from the msys-shell and the
 wx-gui-commandline:

 {{{
 GRASS 6.5.svn (nc_spm_08):c:/Users/syringia > r.helli input=extr1,extr2
 output
 =testpatch2
  100%
 Erstelle Supportdateien für die Rasterkarte <testpatch2>.
 }}}

 everything is working, the two rasters were patched. so it's really the
 name that causes the problems. what's about a batch-file, i don't know.

 i see also in the windows-file-explorer that both r.patch.exe and
 v.patch.exe are marked by WinVista with a win-symbol, so Vista really
 recognize only by the file-name that there could something
 important/dangerous for the system and activates the UAC.
