 see
 http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/branches/releasebranch_6_4/mswindows/
 GRASS-Installer.nsi#L398

 {{{
 ;launch Grass Gis by exit the installation wizard
 Function LaunchGrass
 Exec '"$INSTDIR\${GRASS_COMMAND}.bat" "-wxpython"'
 FunctionEnd
 }}}

 there is the parameter "-wxpython" for launching grass by the installer.
 should this be "-wx"? or should the default be changed to starting the wx-
 gui?
