Any objections that I go ahead and package RC6?

from the grass-windows-point-of-view:

I've tested in the last days a lot the issues in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/908

r40857 (see http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/908#comment:9) should be
backported to grass64. g.mkfontcap with this fixes is working outside a
grass-session.

IMHO the improvements for the WinGrass-Installer (or some modifications of them) in
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/attachment/ticket/986/Grass65_WinGrassInstaller_enhancement.patch
should also go into RC6.

otherwise I can't see any obvious issues from grass-windows-point-of-view against
a RC6.

best regards
Helmut

Just to note, the Linux install script (binaryInstall.src) runs g.mkfontcap outside of a GRASS session by simply setting GISRC to a junk value:

GISBASE="$DESTDIR" GISRC=junk LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR="${DESTDIR}/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH_VAR" "${DESTDIR}/bin/g.mkfontcap" -o

(In Windows the equivalent would be to run the command
set GISRC=junk
before running g.mkfontcap)
Not 100% sure if that's relevant here, but thought it might be worth mentioning to give some context.
