You can use "start" to run a command in a new console window.

You need to consume all of the switches up to and including -e, e.g.:

	#!/bin/sh
	# xterm "emulator" for Windows
	while [ "$1" != "-e" ] ; do shift ; done
	shift
	exec start "$@"

There are presumably other cases which use grass-xterm-wrapper, but
it wouldn't surprise me if every one of them did something which
wouldn't work on Windows.
