The "headers" target in lib/Makefile copies them into
dist.<arch>/include. The "real-install" target in the top-level
Makefile copies everything under dist.<arch> into the final location.

The "headers" target in lib/Makefile copies:

	FROM			TO
	include/*.h		dist.<arch>/include
	include/*.h		dist.<arch>/include/grass
	include/vect/*.h	dist.<arch>/include/vect
	include/vect/*.h	dist.<arch>/include/grass/vect

The "real-install" target in the top-level Makefile copies the entire
tree under dist.<arch>/include to the final location.

The first stage only copies *.h and vect/*.h to the dist.<arch>
directory; "make install" copies the entire tree.
