Comment (by cmbarton):

 Why can't windows use g.gui gui=[guiplatform] -nu?

 In fact, even though both g.change.gui and v.type_wrapper are in my
 source, they are not getting into my OS X binary. Perhaps they are not
 getting into the Windows binary either?

 There is a problem running python scripts in GRASS for Windows. Ironic in
 that one reason for Python is that it is cross-platform. From recent
 discussions on this (Glynn, Colin, me, others), it seems like the best
 solution will be to NOT package Python with GRASS (wxPython may be a
 different issue), but to have an installer that checks for a Python
 installation and if not present directs the user to python.org to install
 it. A regular Python installation will properly put Python in the registry
 so that it can be called to execute scripts.
