[GRASS-dev] sharing grass addons not in central repository with Window users

[Robert Lagacé]

It is possible. I am a Linux user but I had to dig in g.extension 
because one my summer student who use Windows want to install extensions 
but the operation failed. Even the last version also failed.

When I found the path of the WEB site with the windows' extension, I 
modified g,extension to point to repository. What does g.extension is to 
copy the files with its structure in the extension directory and update 
the "modules.xml" file. The functions are already there.
