the 'configure' script is used to create:
 - include/Make/Grass.make
 - include/Make/Platform.make
 - include/version.h
 - include/winname.h

The toplevel Makefile is responsible for copying headers into place (in
fact, it is responsible for installation of all files).

If you scroll down to the 'install:' section of Makefile you will see
that various directories are tarballed and extracted into the
installation directory.  And yes, they are tarred recursively.
