download manually Python scripts v.colors [1] and v.db.addcolumn [2]
and integrate them to your GRASS 6 installation. You have of course
more possibilities

1) use developers GRASS 7 or wait for GRASS 7.0 (~year)
2) fix Bash scripts on Windows (keep in mind that these fixes will
disappear in GRASS7 because it uses Python)
3) force developers to replace bash scripts with Python in GRASS 6
