[GRASS5] instructions for making binaries

[Andreas Lange]

Hi Moritz,

i once started an automated grass test suite. Due to technical problems
and time restrictions it is only half done. 

If you install dejagnu (which depends on tk and expect) you can run a
basic test suite. It worked on linux (for me), but failed on IRIX and
Solaris (for me). Try "make check" after compiling and installing grass. 

HTH,

Andreas
