 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`.

 Try it, but ISTR that there is also an issue with the Windows registry,
 i.e. that the dlls called depend on registry entries (I think that this
 came up as a problem at least in the case of python scripts called from
 python scripts).
