 recently there was a update
 (http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/msvcrt/):

 msvcrt-1.0.1-7.tar.bz2 -> msvcrt-1.0.1-8.tar.bz2

 comparison of the content:

 {{{
 msvcrt-1.0.1-7.tar\msvcrt-1.0.1-7\bin>dir /b > log.txt

 dllupdate.exe
 msvcp60.dll
 msvcp70.dll
 msvcp71.dll
 msvcr71.dll
 msvcrt.dll
 o4w_env.bat
 textreplace.exe
 vcredist_2005_x86.exe
 vcredist_2008_x86.exe
 vcredist_2010_x86.exe
 xxmklink.exe
 }}}

 {{{
 msvcrt-1.0.1-8\bin>dir /b > log.txt

 dllupdate.exe
 msvcp60.dll
 msvcp70.dll
 msvcp71.dll
 msvcr71.dll
 msvcrt.dll
 o4w_env.bat
 textreplace.exe
 vcredist_2005_x86.exe
 vcredist_2008_x86.exe
 vcredist_2010_x86.exe
 xxmklink.exe
 }}}

 should we also update the winGRASS-installer-script?
