I remember dimly that we discussed these things before, a few
weeks back when I was trying to put together a new WinGRASS
distribution. I think that Glynn posted a list of useful tools for
inclusion to this mailing list, back then.
There are other useful things, such as wget, curl, tar, unzip, awk,
sed, ...
Some of them may be needed by shell scripts.
Maybe it would be a good idea to put up a Wikipage and start
adding these things to it?

you're welcome... did you already read my new GRASS Windows Native
Binary Building Guide?

I'm updating it with packaging instructions
when I'll have enough free time I'll put it into GRASS trac
My suggestion is that you include SQLite but not PostgreSQL.[...]
Do you think that libsqlite3-0.dll is enough? in my (built) sqlite
directory I have /bin with 1 dll and 1 exe, /include with only
includes and /lib dir with static libs.
If you've compiled GRASS against the .dll then you don't need the static
libraries. If you've compiled GRASS against the static libraries then
you don't need to include anything - the required libraries will be
statically linked into the GRASS modules (you can usually tell this if
the size of the binaries is very large. I usually delete the static
libraries after compiling to make sure they are not picked up by
accident). You certainly don't need to include the header files in
include/ for a binary distribution - they are only necessary for
compiling. If there are some useful utility programs in bin/ they may be
worth sticking into the GRASS bin directory too, e.g. gdalwarp.exe and
gdalinfo.exe from GDAL and cs2cs.exe and nad2bin.exe from PROJ.
For a lot of packages though you just need the DLL and can stick it
straight into the GRASS $GISBASE/lib directory before packaging up the
binary distribution.
