'osxaqua' is also used once outside of tcl scripts, in init.sh. It's

different
test could be used.
That code is complete gibberish, and potentially quite dangerous (if
wish writes anything to stdout, the shell will attempt to execute it),
so I have removed it.
ISTR that it's a hack to deal with the case where Init.sh doesn't have
a stdout (i.e. if it's run directly from the desktop rather than from
a terminal).
The OSX app startup ('desktop' startup) should have a shell at this
time. I open a new Terminal window before running the GRASS startup
script.
I don't know how Lorenzo handles it, but that's probably one of those
things that should be handled by the packager (-> make sure there is a
stdout available before starting GRASS).
