I thought that we had agreed to include all of the code in the source
tarballs, but only enable working modules in src/CMD/lists/GRASS.

Yes.

AFAICT, this would have to be done manually.

The only real solution is to move the HTML files to the module
directories (which is where they *should* be, along with the
tcltkgrass "module" file, g.help file, etc). That way, the HTML and
manual pages would only be installed if the module itself is
installed.

What purpose does the head serve now? Shouldn't ongoing development be
moving to 5.1?
