stuff still needed for Debian/Ubuntu's grass-dev package---

man page building:
 install tools/mkhtml.sh onto end-user's system
 install tools/g.html2man/g.html2man onto end-user's system
 install the fakeroot package (maybe just needed for debian/ubuntu?)

I still get error messages from the demolocation that:
  ERROR: G_getenv(): Variable LOCATION_NAME not set

but the pages seem to build ok.   (non-fatal)
?



I see this strange message too,    (non-fatal)

/bin/sh: cannot create /usr/lib/grass64/locale/scriptstrings/r.surf.volcano_to_translate.c: Directory nonexistent

(r.surf.volcano is a shell script not .c)
?



so with devbr6's g.extension.sh it now builds the addon ok in
the .tmp/ dir, but still fails before it gets to the install.  (fatal)

It gets up to this part of Grass.make:
inst_now:
        INST_NOW= $(MAKE)

and then reverts back to the default ARCH_DISTDIR instead of the
override version (in $MAPSET/.tmp/.../dist) used earlier in the build.
?

any ideas?
