My inclination is to just copy the entire dist.<arch> directory, i.e. 
replace all of the individual "tar" commands with just:

	-tar cBCf ${GISBASE} - . | tar xBCf ${INST_DIR} - 2>/dev/null

This won't care which subdirectories actually exist.

Right; the monitorcap file no longer exists.

[Since 7.x development took off, I haven't actually tried
"make install". Given that you're the first person to report this, it
appears that no-one else has, either.]

No.

I changed the top-level Makefile to treate locale as a normal
directory, so that it didn't get built every time that you run e.g. 
"make DIRS=lib". locale/Makefile performs its own check that NLS is
actually enabled.
