        Well, redoing all the links just takes up a bit of time, no other 
        resources. If you don't want to do it, there's a more direct way:
        cd to $GISBASE/bin, get a directory listing (ls), choose any name
        (I normally use v.trim because that's easy to type and comes last 
        in the listing) and type:
        ln <v.trim> d.rast.PROJ
        Also, make sure that your new binary is in one of the recognized
        binary directories (e.g. $GISBASE/etc/bin/contrib/cmd)

        (to be P.C., maybe you should type 
        ln $GISBASE/etc/front.end d.rast.PROJ
        but since hard links are transitive, it's all the same)
