[GRASS-dev] wingrass change current working directory

Would there be interest to have in the wxGUI the possibility to change
the current working directory for a GRASS session? By default this is
under windows the documents and settings folder of the current user,
but project-related data and output may well be somewhere else. This
"somewhere else" could be made the current working directory as far as
the wxGUI is concerned (similar to what R has for windows). I have a
patch to do that in the wxGUI in my local copy and would like to know
if there is general interest in this little patch.

it would be great to have that - it would make it much easier to manage homework results for all the students using GRASS in class, especially when they are just starting,

Added in trunk r50167. Save the user-defined current working directory
in a GRASS environment variable?
