Sorry it's not working correctly.  I thought I had it set-up as we
discussed off list.  That is GISBASE=${prefix}/grass${NAME_VER}.

Prefix is by default set to /usr/local with AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT(). Then
VERSION is grepped from ${SRCDIR}/src/CMD/VERSION, then NAME_VER is
sed'ed from VERSION.

So, if you specify --prefix=/opt, you should get /opt/grass5 for
GISBASE.  And BINDIR/UNIX_BIN should get set to ${prefix}/bin
eventually; which would be /opt/bin in this case.

I see there had been some problems with VERSION and NAME_VER, which I
think is part of the problem.  I will look at it some more...
