Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [ticket:1952 hamish]:

 > tac.exe and seq.exe are no longer shipped with wingrass. (I'm not sure
 if tac ever was)

 tac and seq aren't specified by POSIX. Any scripts which use them should
 be modified to work without them.

 Not only is seq trivial to implement as a shell function, I can't find
 anything which actually uses it.

 The only user of tac appears to be v.in.mapgen, which provides its own
 implementation (using awk) as a fallback.
