 I've attached working patches for WinGrass64svn and WinGrass65.

 tested with a patched WinGrass6.4.1RC2, it's working now. R can be started
 within a WinGrass-text-mode-session.

 the ''improvement'' is that R is added to %PATH% dynamically instead of
 the actually very static approach which detects R only during wingrass-
 installation and, after installing new R-versions, it's not possible
 anymore to start a R-session within a wingrass-session because of the
 false path.

 any opinion for not adding it to grass65 and after some testing to
 grass64svn?
