I imagine the script attached to this mail:

Before answering your question: my Italian is not good enough to really 
understand what this script does, but I having the feeling it reproduces 
what the "georectify" tool does when you decide to rectify a vector. So 
maybe you can just use that.

Probably the easiest way to launch a bash script with native wingrass is 
to launch grass from within the msys shell:

1) Open msys shell
2) type /c/grass/bin/grass (not grass.bat ! - adapt path to your situation)
3) launch gis.m

Or, if your grass.bat is correctly configured (path to sh.exe set and 
path to msys/bin and msys/lib set) you can do it from within a cmd.exe 
window:

1) Open cmd.exe
2) Launch grass in text mode: c:\grass\bin\grass.bat -text
3) Launch the script from the command line

Or, if the script is in your PATH:

1) Launch grass in gui mode
2) type script name in console part of the Output window

However, v.coordinate will not work in windows since it uses x-monitors. 
These are not supported in wingrass. So, I guess you really should try 
with the georectify tool (in the File menu).
