Comment (by hellik):

 Replying to [comment:10 hamish]:
 > for view readme/launch grass I think it is better to have check boxes
 than popup nags.

 the check-box for ''view readme/launch grass'' is there in the finish page
 of the  windows installer.

 (see
 https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/attachment/ticket/986/WinGrassInstaller_06032010_204918.jpg)

 the behaviour after finishing the installer can be changed. so ''view
 readme/launch grass'' can be invoked directly without a popup. but i think
 starting Grass and the browser with the reference manual at the same time
 could be confusing for a first time user, so I've chosen the way with the
 popup. but that's a personal point of view ...

 at the moment we have not a Grass6.4.0, only Grass64-svn, Grass65-svn and
 Grass7-svn, and all the nightly win-builds are from Grass64-svn. so IMO
 this would be only an option for the tag of Grass6.4.x.
