Allright! Built and installed the plugin - for the very first time.

Yet the other problem was that after "make install" it didn't go to where
gdal expect plugins (/usr/local/lib/gdalplugins) but to standard
/usr/local/lib. Sure, I moved it manually, but I would be badly puzzled if I
didn't remember the issue discussed on the list before.

Frank, could that also be addressed, so that if a gdal-grass plugin is built
the default destination for "make install" would be
/usr/local/lib/gdalplugins like it should?
