The minimum is to just add the directory, including a Gmakefile. To
have the module built by default, add the directory to
src/CMD/lists/GRASS.

Addtional steps include adding a manual page in the html/html
directory (and optionally to the appropriate category page in the html
directory) and adding a tcltkgrass interface in tcltkgrass/module.

BTW, you can compile an individual module with "gmake5 <dir>" or
"gmake5 -i <dir>". To create the necessary link in the bin directory,
use "gmakelinks5" or "gmakelinks5 -i".

The "-i" flag causes the installed version (e.g. /usr/local/grass5) to
be updated; without it, only the build directory (dist.<arch>) is
updated.
