Mike,  here use make install.  If you switch to new version remember to
clean out old libG11.dll from /bin.  This installs to /usr/local/bin.

Note that windows/libW11 is under devices:
XCFLAGS= -I/grass/src/display/devices/windows/libW11
XLIBPATH= -I/grass/src/display/devices/windows/libW11/lib

devices/lib doesn't use X.  It is linked into XDRIVER.

The other day after downloading into a new directory, I did the above steps
before compiling grass (between ./configure and make).  It worked fine.

BTW.  Since libG11 is a .dll, it is OK to just recompile the libG11.dll on
minor changes to libG11, i.e. as long as entry points in the .dll don't
change.  If in doubt, recompile XDRIVER too.
