 source of the problem are bat scripts, in this case
 `$ARCH_DISTDIR\bin\r.out.xyz.bat`

 {{{
 @"%GRASS_SH%" -c '"%GISBASE%/scripts/r.out.xyz" %*'
 }}}

 where '\` are escaped. To make Bash script working on Windows is generally
 speaking pain. The future are Python scripts in GRASS 7. I still think
 that Pythonized script could replace most of Bash scripts in GRASS 6.

 Benefits:
  * maintaining scripts only in one language
  * Python scripts can run on Windows without any problems

 Drawback:
  * some new bugs can be introduced, anyway some Bash-related can be fixed
 by this conversion
  * Python as requirement

 I proposed that some time ago, but it was refused.
