[GRASS5] Questions regarding GIS.sh

[A Carr]

For what it's worth, the Windows port relies on the Cygwin emulation
layer, and bash is the standard shell. You should (in theory, although
don't hold your breath on this...) be able to run the shell script under
Windows quite happily.

There are some missing abilities, however, and every once in a while, we
encounter them.
