Ahh, just finished an email to the list, where I ran in exacly the same
problem... 

Therefor I would suggest to keep symlinks in include/*.h pointing to
include/grass*.h to have a backward-compatibility for other packages
which try to link against GRASS (e.g. QGIS, gdal-grass, etc.)

Could this be done easily? 

Best
