#889: Msys-based commands fail when winGRASS is installed in %ProgramFiles%

---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Current standalone winGRASS installer (I used that of 20 Jan 2010 on
Windows 7) defaults to %ProgramFiles% and this seems to prevent all sh.
exe-based commands to work properly. E.g. d.shadedmap and r.shaded.relief
fail with the following error message:
{{{
r.shaded.relief map=dem
/c/Program: Files\GRASS-64-SVN\msys\bin\sh.exe: No such file
or directory
}}}
which says that installing 6.4.0-SVN snapshots in %ProgramFiles% won't
work until the recent changes to the G_spawn* functions have been back-
ported. The current 6.4.0 code is known not to work with spaces in
$GISBASE. 6.5 should work (although based upon recent comments, MSys might
need to be installed in C:\msys).

Hi, I tried r.shaded.relief with WinGRASS-6.4.SVN-r41137 and it works
perfectly fine.[[BR]]
I changed the ticket to fixed: is this OK?[[BR]]
Thanks,[[BR]]
