 > Unlike the Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 redistributable packages, there are
 registry keys that can be used to detect the presence of the Visual C++
 2010 redistributable package.

 for the record some interesting notes from the dev-ML:

 http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2013-March/062459.html

 ''[...]
 Realistically speaking, it will take a few more
 weeks for me to complete and test the build chain.
 We plan to release the resulting binaries with
 gvSIG CE 1.0 (which will ship with GRASS 6.4.3 as
 a geoprocessing backend). From that point forward,
 i.e. GRASS 6.4.4, it might be feasible to base GRASS
 Windows releases on the gvSIG CE build chain:
 no more pesky VC runtime DLLs!

 Also, in case you are not using it yet:
 "Dependency Walker" is really helpful for
 locating DLL-related problems.
