 right, extra unix-like tools have been recently moved from `extrabin` to
 `msys/bin` (standalone installer). This was not reflected in `PATH`.
 Speaking about GRASS OSGeo4W package I am not sure if the original `msys`
 package from OSGeo4W framework contains all required unix-like tools.

 Ideally standalone installer should contain original `msys` package from
 OSGeo4W framework with all required tools, not locally extended msys
 installation, see
 [wiki:CompileOnWindows#InstalltheenvironmentforcompilationMingW here].

 It requires to collect list of required unix-line tools for GRASS and add
 `grass-msys` or update `msys` package in OSGeo4W framework.
