As it says in the readme: "in order for shell scripts to work, you will 
have to add msys' lib and bin directories to your path in the 
grass63.bat file."

Concretely this means uncommenting (i.e. deleting the 'rem') the last of 
the following lines in grass63.bat and adapting it to your installation

rem Path to utilities used by some scripts, such as awk, sed, etc
rem (adjust to where you installed msys, gnuwin32, or other similar 
utilises)
rem set set PATH=%PATH%;c:\msys\1.0\bin;c:\msys\1.0\lib
