Nope :)

As you know, the Win32 installer includes its own copy of the PROJ.4 DLL 
  compiled with the extra NAD datum shift files. In order for the 
installer to keep everything inside the PostgreSQL tree (and not cause 
problems with other PROJ.4 DLLs installed on people's machines), PostGIS 
modifies the search path to include the 
$sharedir/postgresql/contrib/postgis/proj directory which is where the 
grid files with the Win32 installer should be stored.

Obviously with the recent versioning changes this directory needs to be 
changed to $sharedir/postgresql/contrib/postgis-1.5/proj. The previously 
attached patch makes this change. You can check by running a 
ST_Transform() on a grid-shift transformation with/without the directory 
present.


HTH,

Mark.
