Grass64-Release => %ProgramFiles%\GRASS-64
Grass64-Dev     => %ProgramFiles%\GRASS-64-SVN
Grass65-Dev     => %ProgramFiles%\GRASS-65-SVN
Grass7-Dev      => %ProgramFiles%\GRASS-7-SVN

We *need* this to work. If GRASS can't handle being installed in
%ProgramFiles%, that's a blocker, IMHO.

Similarly if it can't handle spaces in GISDBASE.
