The only changes between pre4 (release_13_may_2002_grass5_0_0_pre4)
and the current state of the release branch (releasebranch_26_april_2002_5_0_0)
are:

documents/cygwin_grass50bininstall.html

	Additional information regarding the "sunrpc" package

html/index.html
html/searchhtml.html

	Change "search" form URL from uni-hannover.de to itc.it.

src/raster/r.sun/main.c

	Remove debugging fprintf()

src/raster/r.tiff/r.out.tiff.c

	Fix buffer allocation bug

Note: the actual issue (command failing if "locale" doesn't exist)
still needs to be fixed. I suggest simply omitting the "test", i.e.

${SHELL} -c "cd ${GISBASE} ; tar cBf - locale | (cd ${INST_DIR} ; tar xBf - ) 2>/dev/null ; true"

This will print an error message, but will succeed, and so won't
terminate the installation prematurely.

To eliminate the error message, simply have GISGEN.sh create the
locale directory.
