[winGRASS] compiling grass6.0.0beta2 on cygwin/grass6.0.0beta1 on mingw

[Tyler Mitchell (tjm)]

I'm not compiling, but downloading the beta binaries and got similar 
run-time errors.  I relinked my files, but still no luck.  I then just 
made a straight copy with the new file name and it worked no problem. 
Is this related to the problem you guys brought up?  Seems there may be 
an issue with linked files??
