Use the same mechanism as on Linux; just change the syntax for setting
environment variables from bash's "export" to cmd.exe's "set".

Apart from PATH (which needs to contain the bin, scripts and lib
subdirectories), you also need to set GISBASE and GISRC.

Note that GISDBASE, LOCATION_NAME and MAPSET are GRASS variables, set
in the file referenced by %GISRC%, not environment variables.
