[GRASS5] Purpose of XDRLIB

[Andreas Lange]

Hi,

i have currently no access to IRIX, but i remember that this library is
'-lsun' on SGI IRIX. But i could be completely wrong here. IMHO it does
no harm to include the XDRLIB, the linker will only echo several times
that the library is not used to resolve any symbol. 
This will all be resolved properly with the new make setup and dynamic
libraries, so we should not waste too many thoughts on this.

cu,

Andreas
