minor-

lib/init/init.sh uses tput to clear the terminal screen. tput is
provided by the ncurses package which is (judging from the above)
apparently optional in Cygwin. Should the ncurses package be added to
the requires: line of the grass62/binary/mswindows/setup.ini file; the
clearing command in init.sh be changed; or should it be left as-is?
(because clearing the screen may hide start up errors which may be
common for Cygwin, so it's a useful debugging "feature")
