[GRASS-user] Write python grass program with osgeo4w

[Moskovitz, Bob]

I see that GRASS in OSGEO4W is only up to r36506.  Hopefully there will be an update to OSGEO4W soon...maybe even an update to GRASS 6.4 RC5 :-)

This is a bug in grass.py; Windows requires "g.parser.exe" rather than
"g.parser". This was fixed with:
