 I believe the intent is to NOT require a built source dir, or source at
 all.  It's likely that work is needed so that the installed platform.make
 has the install paths instead of the original build paths, OR that it
 overrides GRASS_HOME and RUN_GISBASE when running make (better, since the
 install path could change).

 > g.extension extension=v.strahler svnurl=https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/
 grass-addons/ prefix=/Library/Application\ Support/GRASS/7.0
 menuitem=Vector;Stream order

 Note: the correct OSX addons dir is /Library/Application
 Support/GRASS/7.0/Modules.
