[GRASS-dev] nviz won't launch from wx GUI menu in WinGRASS

I took a look at the way that NVIZ is launched from the wx GUI menu.  
The menu item calls a script called "nviz" that lives in the $GISDBASE/ 
bin folder.

The script launches nviz. The menu item does indeed call the script  
and the script launches. But the code in the script doesn't correctly  
launch the NVIZ module in Windows.

Here is the code. Perhaps someone can ID what is wrong with it.





if [ $# -eq 0 ] ; then
   ##nviz is opened in GUI
   exec "$GISBASE/etc/nviz2.2/nviz" -f "$GISBASE/etc/nviz2.2/scripts/ 
nviz2.2_script"
   exit 0
fi

exec "$GISBASE/etc/nviz2.2/nviz" -f "$GISBASE/etc/nviz2.2/scripts/ 
nviz2.2_script" ${1+"$@"}




The weird thing is that this DOES seem to work if you launch it from  
the Msys GRASS terminal in Windows.
