I think we just have to agree to disagree on this at this stage, and 
implement a solution that if not satisfying everyone, at least does not 
dissatisfy anyone more than necessary.

 From the current discussion I take that the .bat file solution is one 
that will satisfy those who want GRASS to "just work" on MS Windows 
without putting any burden on the user. In order to not dissatisfy those 
who do not want GRASS to impose a specific version of Python, it should 
be easy to "switch" off the .bat file solution, i.e. by simply resetting 
PATH and/or erasing the directory with the .bat files.

Can everyone agree on that solution (not meaning that you consider it 
the best solution, but that you can live with it) ?
