They are applied, and even in a fairly reasonable manner.

I have some notes on what should be done to ease this 
process, but work has gotten busier and I'm (still) trying 
to buy a house, so I haven't polished them yet.  I'll try 
to post a detailed description of what (I think) should be
done tomorrow night, to get comments, find help, etc.

Ideally, a New Make System for grass should allow distribution
of new programs independent of the grass module.  For example,
the NVIZ program should be able to be distributed outside of
the grass "core" set of programs and libraries.  We have a 
decent extensible Make system here at work, I just need a night
or two free to hack some initial support into grass.  

Markus, I promise to post something tomorrow, even if it is 
just my disjointed thoughts. =)
