Replying to [comment:2 hamish]:
> In CompileOnWindows it mentions that trunk wants PYTHONPATH to be set as
part of msys.bat. Is that still valid?
I don't think that it was ever valid. If PYTHONPATH is set anywhere, it
probably ought to be in grass70.bat.
And where does msys.bat come into this? A binary version of 7.0 shouldn't
even include MSys; with the shell scripts having been converted to Python,
it's unnecessary.
Even 6.x probably shouldn't be using msys.bat. The default shell on
Windows should be %COMSPEC% or cmd.exe. If you want to offer bash as an
alternative, run it in a Windows console, not the brain-dead rxvt port
which doesn't work with anything (mostly because it's not a tty according
to isatty()).
We '''have''' to include MSys in 6.x for the shell scripts, but that
doesn't mean that we have to use it for anything else.
