Comment(by hamish):

 I don't think we should consider getting rid the rxvt + msys command line
 until the cmd.exe + bash actually works. We can revisit the issue once it
 does.

 Fixing a couple of things in init.bat yesterday it was apparent that the
 :wxpython gui goto target in init.bat is currently written to launch the
 wxGUI without a real command window, so an intentional change. I don't say
 that is right or wrong, just fyi the way it currently is written.


 Hamish

 ps- I suggest we create a new sub-menu in the Start->Program Files->GRASS
 menu, to contain the lesser used startup methods (command line only,
 tcl/tk gui, ...), as it's a bit cluttered right now. I'm not sure where
 the MSYS UNIX-only one should go, maybe into another Utilities menu?
