Sorry, missed this e-mail earlier. I've committed changes to CVS now that 
will set an environment variable called GRASS_PROJSHARE which should 
contain the correct path. It is set in Init.sh, and if the user sets 
GRASS_PROJSHARE before starting GRASS, then they can override it, i.e. 
over-ride the value that was set in the configure script.

It can be referenced in epsg_option.tcl as $env(GRASS_PROJSHARE), but I 
had some troubles with the Tcl syntax so I didn't commit that part of the 
change. Essentially we should re-name epsg_option.tcl.in back to 
epsg_option.tcl, make the change there, and change the rule for 
epsg_option.tcl in the Makefile to look very similar to file_option.tcl. 
But even if you just make the change to epsg_option.tcl.in for now I can 
probably fix it up later. Assuming my ADSL connection stays up.
