Initial Comment:
Platform.make.in has:

INST_DIR          = @prefix@/grass- at GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR@. at GRASS_VERSION_MINOR@. at GRASS_VERSION_RELEASE@

Makefile has, after including platform.make:

INST_DIR=		${prefix}/grass-${GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR}.${GRASS_VERSION_MINOR}.${GRASS_VERSION_RELEASE}

which works out to the same.

This is redundant and unnecessary.  And IF someone wants to hand-edit platform.make to override the "grass-version" subfolder for the install dir (yes, I know it's not recommended), they must also change the makefile.
