Am I completely wrong that for a module linking against say -lgis, you
still need a copy of libgis.a somewhere on the -L? How is the module to
"know" that its function calls are resolved? libproj.* is distributed as
*.a, *.la, and *.so - but you are right that beta2/lib only has
libgrass_*.so files. Are we anticipating that a user will compile an added 
module locally even though the GRASS install was binary? Is the compile 
train for added modules supposed to know what wizzardry GRASS does with 
the LD path?
