If I am creating an add-on for GRASS and the add-on needs some kind of
initialization (i.e., to set some environment variables) is there a
standard way to do this on GRASS startup? I mean is there a facility in
GRASS similar to /etc/profile.d/ for UNIX shells where you can put
initialization scripts and they will run automatically on shell startup?

The startup script will run ~/.grass.bashrc (for bash) or
~/.grass.cshrc (for csh/tcsh) if it exists.
Alternatively, it wouldn't be hard to modify the startup script itself
($GISBASE/etc/Init.sh).

You should contact Benjamin Ducke http://www.uni-kiel.de/ufg/ufg_BerDucke.htm about doing this as a GRASS addon extension.
