Comment (by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:22 timmie]:

 > I have a lot of opensource programs installed on Windows that rely on
 GTK or Python (wxPython). But all can run independatly.

 Note that the directory containing the executable is always searched
 first. This tends to work fine for monolithic applications, but isn't
 suitable for Unix-style development where a package relies upon external
 packages (e.g. GRASS relying upon GDAL).

 The "Windows way" is for an application to embed its own copy of every
 package it depends upon. If you want to take this approach, you can move
 all of GRASS' DLLs from $GISBASE/lib to $GISBASE/bin, and also copy all of
 the GDAL (etc) DLLs there. OTOH, that won't work for programs which are in
 $GISBASE/etc or $GISBASE/driver.
