| 7 | * Details on WinGRASS at: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WinGRASS_Current_Status |
| 8 | * Current packaging should be considered a preliminary proof-of-concept. |

| 13 | * Alternative, new compile guide at http://www.webalice.it/marco.pasetti/grass/BuildFromSource.html |
| 14 | * We likely want to distribute with MSYS package for commandline operations though I believe the WinGRASS objective is to not require this. |
| 15 | * WinGRASS is built with MSYS/MinGW currently. The build to use VC++ built GDAL required a configure hack on GRASS. |
| 16 | * There is a new python/wxWindows GUI in development we may want to include. |
| 17 | * A number of things still being built directly into GRASS instead of using proper packages (curses, freetype, libpng, libz, ...) |
