  * GRASS "monitors" are not present in this build due to an unresolved [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/18751/ problem replacing] [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/24221/ Unix-domain sockets] [http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.devel/25688/ with pipes or TCP sockets] and so some interactive modules which require them, such as i.class and i.ortho.photo, will not work. You will need to use a Cygwin build for Windows to use those modules or help port them to the new multi-platform wxPython GUI.

  * Steps:
   * compile GRASS in a way that it fits in the OSGeo4W directory hierarchy. Example: [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/develbranch_6/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh]
   * package in a tar.bz2 file
   * if needed, write/update "etc/postinstall/$paketname.bat"  which is executed after extraction of the package during installation to define menu stuff and link on user desktop.
- * Depends on the MSYS package for command line operations, because GRASS 6 uses unix shell scripts (GRASS 7 uses Python)
+ * Depends on the MSYS package for command line operations, because GRASS 6 uses unix shell scripts (GRASS 7 uses Python and so no UNIX compatibility is needed at run time [but build scripts still require GNU tools like awk, sed, etc.])
  * WinGRASS is built with MSYS/MinGW.  The libraries used to link to the VC++ built GDAL & friends is in the mingw-libs package (copies of the libraries: ''foo''{{{.lib}}} renamed to {{{lib}}}''foo''{{{.a}}}).
  * Release tree: http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/grass/ (the installer selects the package with highest version number)
