My Qgis builds are linked to the GRASS 6.3 libraries because I had  
some crashing problems when linked to 6.2.

I also removed the embedded GRASS libraries (for minimal GRASS  
support without needing GRASS), because changes in Qgis GRASS plugin  
made that minimal support nothing - it used to be that if a full  
GRASS wasn't found, but the libraries allowed the plugin binary to  
load, one could at least add GRASS data to a map read-only without  
opening a mapset.  Now, if GRASS isn't fond, the plugin doesn't load  
at all.

I don't think Qgis uses GDAL to access GRASS data, even read-only  
without GRASS tools capabilities.
