Obviously we cannot change a library name in 6.x as it is
hardcoded here:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/frmts/grass/pkg/configure.in#L126

I have reverted the name change in 6.4.svn.
Maciej, it should work again if you use 6.x.

One day, however, the plugin and GRASS 7 need a library name sync or some
condition in above indicated GDAL file.
