+1
> It shouldn't include any options which involve MSys' rxvt, as it's just
too buggy (and won't work with any curses-based programs, which require a
normal console window).
FWIW, MSYS uses (since 2009.03.17) by default sh, not rxvt. Only the
ancient msys.bat in GRASS 6 uses rxvt by default. The MSYS console in
GRASS 7 uses sh.
