[GRASS-windows] C:\Program Files\ as default installation path of winGRASS

Dear list,

Knowing that Msys doesn't (and never will) like spaces in paths, I 
wonder if there is any point in installing winGRASS to C:\Program Files\ 
(default in the current standalone installer) as this prevents all 
sh.exe based commands to work properly (e.g. d.shadedmap, 
r.shaded.relief, etc.) -- GRASS complains in the following way:

/c/Program: Files\GRASS-64-SVN\msys\bin\sh.exe: No such file
or directory

What is the general approach a user should take?

Thanks and regards,

Luigi
