> Right, when I launch `python.exe` which comes with standalone installer
it points to `C:Windows\SysWOW64\python27.dll`. When I launch `python.exe`
from `C:\OSGeo4W\bin` it points to the right dll file, ie.
`C:\OSGeo4W\bin\python27.dll`.
Ah, OK, it's probably caused by the fact that the standalone installer
puts `python27.dll` to the different directory (ie. `extralib`) compared
to `python.exe` (`extrabin`). Directory `extralib` is in the path
source:grass/trunk/mswindows/env.bat#L17, but it's probably not enough.
The problem could be solved by moving `python27.dll` to `extrabin`. Then
we could probably move all DLL files to `extrabin` and get rid of this
directory. It's comment practice to have DLL files together with EXE files
in the same directory. I don't know why the standalone installer separates
them to the two different directories, ie. `extrabin` and `extralib`.
