Markus, the GISBASE needs NAME_VER to be /usr/local/grass5 by default.
I thought putting these things in configure was to easiest way to
propagate them.  As far as the "-n 5", guess the -n option to echo isn't
recognized (should still work okay without it I think).  I'm not sure
where that earlier sed problem you mention is coming from.  For the most
part, I took the sed scripts from Makefile.in verbatim.  I think it's
not too big of a deal to get these fixed up pretty quick....
