[winGRASS] grass native installation problem

[Jonathan Aguero]

Brian and Jacques,
I just had the same problem with my WinXP system. It seems that the problem
was related to my old Cygwin installation. I removed cygwin and clean up the
environmental variables related and then GRASS worked. 
If the CYGWIN variable is defined in your system, the grass init script
assumes that the shell is bash instead of the bourne shell (sh) used by
MINGW/msys.
I hope this help you guys.
