[Qgis-developer] GRASS requirements changed

[Radim Blazek]

I have changed qgis.d.rast so that it reads the window from the cellhd
instead of from mapset WIND so it should work for you now.
It is better however to fix your GRASS data in any case because you
probably get to troubles soon or later running GRASS modules.
