I have recently committed a change to G_get_window() such that you can
set the environment variable WIND_OVERRIDE to the name of a stored
region (in the "windows" subdirectory of the current mapset, as per
"g.region save=...") to have G_get_window() use that instead of the
WIND file.

The intended usage is so that gis.m etc can force individual commands
to use a specific region without interfering with command-line usage,
background commands, etc. IOW, commands run from within gis.m should
use "set env(WIND_OVERRIDE) ..." rather than running g.region (you can
use "g.region ... save=..." to create suitable region files).
