 Replying to [ticket:1171 hamish]:

 grass7 this has even become the default import format)

 the gpsbabel-version comes from the osgeo4w-stack which builds the
 WinGrass-build-environment, so maybe an osgeo4w-ticket there?

 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)

 the idea of C:\Program Files\GRASS-65-SVN\gpsbabel-folder comes from the
 ancient recipe of Marco Pasetti
 (http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html) for
 compiling grass, as at this time gpsbabel was downloaded in an extra way.

 IMHO now this folder, dynamically written by the NSIS-installer, can be
 removed from the NSIS-script.
