Update:
all the ugly error messages are gone as of r62708 and relevant fixes
earlier today. All this was a good test case to get the message
handling better.

Now you get:

GRASS 7.1.svn (nc_spm_08_grass7):~ > r.basin map=elevation
prefix=my_basin coord=637500.0,221750.0 dir=mydir threshold=1000
WARNING: 'r.stream.distance' required. Please install 'r.stream.distance'
         first using 'g.extension r.stream.distance'
ERROR: An ERROR occurred running r.basin

Concerning this issue:

We have discovered an issue on the Windows build server which creates
the executables of the addon.
In essence, the r.stream.*.exe files are not generates daily as they
should. Martin will look into this asap.

Thanks for your patience! It leads to better code. And I am sure that
all this will be sorted out in the next days.
