Nviz does not use gdal. It directly uses the tif libraries, but wingrass 
is compiled --without-tiff (see 
http://geog-pc40.ulb.ac.be/grass/wingrass/winconfig.log).

So, unless someone decides to rewrite nviz to use gdal, I guess we will 
have to compile wingrass with tiff support. Or maybe we can use existing 
libtiff binaries from mingw or gnuwin32.
