 if i put the v.patch.exe.manifest and r.patch.exe.manifest (i'll add this
 two files to the report) in C:\OSGeo4W\apps\grass\grass-6.4.0svn\bin
 nearby to v.patch.exe and r.patch.exe, both v.patch and r.patch are
 working. :o)

 see:

 {{{
 v.patch input=geology at PERMANENT,streams at PERMANENT output=vectorpatch

 Überschneidungen an den Grenzen müssen ge-snapped werden.

 }}}

 so the question will be how this could be implemented in the grass-
 compile- and build process?

 best regards
