the scripts can be rather important. e.g. v.db.addtable & v.db.addcol vs. raw
SQL + db.execute or v.dissolve, r.shaded.relief, ... I'd add r.in.wms to that
list but it is as unix reqs as you get.


by the way windows_launch.bat should go in lib/init/ not scripts/

we should make a list of the minimal set of needed commands, eg
awk
cat
cut
expr
grep
head
ls
paste
rm
sed
sort
tac
tail
tr
uniq
wc
