Yea, will need a short-term fix for GRASS 5.0.  I expect a ground up
rewrite of the build system for 5.1, or do I misunderstand something?

It makes sense that the X macros catch the linker flags, since X does
have a bit of networking code ;)

And outstanding bugs...

I'm working on some more d.area fixes (Note: I introduced a subtle bug
last night by accident...); Also, need to do some work on d.mon --
sometimes (especially with CELL driver) the selection code of d.mon
doesn't succeed.  Running d.mon select=DRIVER will work.  There's a
timing issue with how long it takes the CELL/PNG/HTMLMAP driver to start
up -- hence d.mon is trying to test the connection before the driver is
ready.  There are also, the various other RT bugs...

Apologize that it takes a long time for me to comment.  My ISP is
suffering brain damage and mails are being delayed by as much as 24
hours...
