{{{
FileOpen $0 $INSTALL_DIR\msys\etc\fstab w
IfErrors done_create_fstab
FileWrite $0 '$INST_DIR_SHORT /grass$\r$\n'
}}}
IIRC the fstab file was one of the MSys dev's "we don't support spaces in
path names and won't even accept bugfix patches" fun times. (/etc/fstab is
whitespace delimited)
Should we (can we?) rewrite that file each time at program startup to
reflect the current shortname version of the path?
no reports of it breaking anything (yet).
