we have made some tests here and updated the setup.ini file
plus the instructions.

Starting grass64/cygwin with -tcltk leads to

13 [main] g.gisenv 2100 _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW
  78803 [main] g.gisenv 2100 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace
to g.gisenv.exe.stackdump

Subsequently the GUI isn't started (the tcltk startup screen comes up well).

Running on command line:
g.gisenv
returns the settings as it should.

Running on command line:
g.region -p
returns to command line without printing anything.

Perhaps there is a version conflict with the proj libraries?
