Your scope is to read GRASS data through GDAL/OGR? No way to read
them through GRASS itself (and its new Python API in GRASS 7)?

They *are* the compiled binary files. Just outdated and hence likely
not compliant with the other current OSGeo4W DLLs.

The source code is here:
http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/
-> gdal-grass-1.4.3.tar.gz
but I believe that it should be better extracted again from the master
GDAL package.
