 No, I think that's a misreading of it. The console is there for more that
 just error messages and is meant to be used if present. I guess it is up
 to the packager to decide if to include it or not. During the debugging
 era of WinGrass I'd suggest to include it, but that's just my 1c.

 I believe jef posted a patch to fix this for tcl/tk over on the osgeo4w
 trac site (# 83), just applied in 6.5svn.
