nnbathy does not require GRASS to build or run, they are completely
separate.

as to if nnbathy can be ported to build on Windows7, I don't know,
but I'd note that the configuration script is based on UNIX
autoconf, which would suggest MacOSX and Linux as the target
platforms.

I would guess that you could install Cygwin onto your Windows7
computer and build it in there, but for that some UNIX experience
is useful. Alternately you could install Ubuntu in a VirtualBox
VM and jump into the virtual machine to do your processing then
copy the results file back out to your normal MS Windows
environment.


good luck,
