GRASS_HOME and RUN_GISBASE

(to respond to Glynn's suggestion to split the files: not a
general solution, but: can these values be overridden on the
command line at runtime using g.extension's prefix= answer?
at least that would help for g.extension)


here's the sed I used to replace it with "/usr/lib/grass64"
on debian:

        # adjust from build-server build dir to end-user's install dir
        sed -i -e "s+^\(GRASS_HOME[ ]*=\) .*+\1 /usr/lib/$(BASE_NAME)+" \
                -e "s+^\(RUN_GISBASE[ ]*=\) .*+\1 /usr/lib/$(BASE_NAME)+" \
                debian/tmp/usr/lib/$(BASE_NAME)/include/Make/Platform.make
