 WinGRASS installer (and OSGeo4W) will need `python-ply` package as
 specified in the source:grass/trunk/REQUIREMENTS.html:

 > Python PLY Library (Python Lex-Yacc) ("python-ply", needed for the
 temporal algebra in tgis)
 > http://www.dabeaz.com/ply

 Currently, temporal algebra does not work, see for example this tests
 result:

 The workaround would be to install `python-ply` manually but that's a
 little bit challenging since winGRASS/OSGeo4W is using its own Python.

 This is for 7.1 because temporal algebra is only there. So it might be
 enough to solve it right before 7.1 is released. The `python-ply`
 requirement is actually listed also for 7.0 but I think its not true:
