v.in.mif is no longer built by default.

The actual binary should go into the etc/bin/cmd subdirectory, within
the GRASS installation directory. However, you also have to create a
link to the etc/front.end program in the bin subdirectory, i.e.

	ln /usr/local/grass5/etc/front.end /usr/local/grass5/bin/v.in.mif

[If GRASS is installed somewhere other than /usr/local/grass5, modify
the above accordingly.]

If you can't locate a binary version, the origin site for GD is:

	http://www.boutell.com/gd/

However, you need to use the same major version as was used for
building the PNG driver (i.e. a PNG driver built with GD 2.x won't
work with GD 1.x).
