I will try, but i think this wont work. I'm using some Unix tools like sed,  rm and stuff.
I will see if MSYS provides those tools, because i didnt find much information about this toolset 
at http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml ... . I think this is only a bash and tar????

I tried first to use only bash functionality, but this functionality is to limited
for the test suite. So i had to use Unix tools too.

Also md5sum must be installed in windows, 
otherwise the md5 checksum tests are not available.

Is there no other bash-unix-tool environment for windows available? 
I didnt found one.

And how about the existing shell scripts in grass, 
do they work with MSYS and GRASS with windows?

I will try this out this evening.
Best regards
Soeren
