Ok, some people have already given some ideas. Will ignore for now.

Yep, that was it. Now GRASS starts without msys !

Next step: make install

- doesn't install the grass63.bat file in bin
- when I copy grass63.bat to c:\grass\bin and modify it so that
set WINGISBASE=c:\grass\grass-6.3.cvs
I get error in startup script: "can't read "env(GISBASE)": no such
variable while executing "source $env(GISBASE)/etc/gtcltk/gmsg.tcl" (file
"c:\grass\grass-6.3.cvs\etc\gis_set.tcl" line 29)

I don't know if the problem is that line 37 of Init.bat does not convert
the WINGISBASE variable correctly, or whether it is something else. But I
don't have this problem if I launch grass63.bat from the
bin.i686-pc-mingw32 in the source tree...

Step by step... ;-)
