If you're using MSys' shell, you should be able to run shell scripts
directly.

>From a Windows command prompt (cmd.exe), you can specify the path to
the interpreter, use the %GRASS_SH% environment variable (which should
be set to point to MSys' shell), or associate the .sh extension with
MSys' shell.

To make a script usable from the GUI, it should be installed in
%WINGISBASE%/scripts, with a suitable batch file in %WINGISBASE%/bin
(look at any of the existing batch files in that directory for an
example).
