If you allow for all of the programs which scripts (or even compiled
programs) might use, the requires: line is going to get rather long.

Adding more (or less) is probably a good idea, as it's basically
necessary with the default setup (although I just use
GRASS_PAGER=cat). I wouldn't add anything which you can easily do
without, though.

No, it doesn't like the double slash, which indicates a network path
(//usr/local = SMB share named "local" on host "usr").

How up-to-date is your Cygwin? I updated everything prior to building
that package.

The above behaviour (program does nothing) used to occur when building
with DLLs.

Unfortunately, it works on my system, so I probably can't be of much
help in tracking down the problem.

FWIW; here is the output from "env | sort":
