Yes they seem to be only partially added. You also need to copy over the
source code files from 5.3. The normal way to do this is add the lines
src/display/d.info/* display/d.info/*
src/raster/r.in.mat/* raster/r.in.mat/*
src/raster/r.out.mat/* raster/r.out.mat/*
to tools/link.conf in the 5.7 source tree, and then run make mix again

Perhaps I'll make a conjecture that Hamish didn't finish this because
nobody had decided if the new modules should go into 5.7?
