 Hi,

 one of the major jobs of v.in.gpsbabel is to import GPX files. (In grass7
 this has even become the default import format)

 {{{
 WinGRASS65> v.in.gpsbabel in=foo.gpx format=gpx
 WARNING: No features requested for download. Assuming waypoints.
 Loading Waypoints from <foo.gpx>...
 GPX: This build excluded GPX support because expat was not installed.
 ...
 }}}

 is it possible to get a gpsbabel.exe with libexpat XML support?


 thanks,
 Hamish

 ps- there is a C:\Program Files\GRASS-65-SVN\gpsbabel dir but it is empty.
 The version of GPSBabel.exe in extrabin/ is found by "which" in msys
 despite the mixed-case name. (I think this partition is NTFS, but not
 sure)
