[osgeo4w-dev] Progress Update

[Jeff McKenna]

Andrea,

I do have one thing to say on this (I'll let Frank discuss 
bin/lib/share):  My opinion is that all applications (web-based and 
desktop) should live in the /osgeo4w/apps folder.  For example, I think 
GRASS should live in /osgeo4w/apps/grass (even though I see that it does 
not at this point)  Putting GRASS at the osgeo4w root means that all 
desktop apps could live at the root, which becomes quite messy.  I hope 
we all agree on the mandatory use of the /osgeo4w/apps folder.
