The only factors affecting the construction of individual dialogs are
the values stored in the structures returned from calls to
G_define_{module,option,flag} prior to calling G_parser().

G_parser() essentially converts those structures to Tcl code then
passes them to lib/gis/gui.tcl. See that file to determine how the
various fields are used.

Correct.

If it will ultimately be used by more than one program, then it
probably belongs under lib.

Try:
	make ARCH_DISTDIR=/usr/local/grass-5.7.cvs
