Possibly that something goes wrong in init.bat because the demolocation 
directory doesn't get copied across during "make install"? I had been 
using the .grassrc63 file in there as a temporary GISRC file so g.dirseps 
would work. Need to find a clean solution to this - all it needs is a 
temporary file; it is fairly meaningless really. This ties in nicely with 
what Michael is looking at wrt a temporary GISRC file to make g.proj run!

If you copy across "demolocation/.grassrc63" to the install directory does 
it work? If so, that confirms the problem and we need to look at a more 
elegant solution with regard to the temporary GISRC files.
