 as the rgrass7 package (R-GRASS interaction) will upcome with a new
 version including improvements for winGRASS-R coupling (see (1)), it would
 be nice to have this in.

 r-batchfiles-r149-2.tar.bz2 doesn't poison unnecessarily %PATH%, it only
 adds R-installation path to %PATH% if R is installed.

 what next to do? I have no access to OSGeo4W repository.
