Comment(by hamish):

 ? both source URL and compiled destination are configurable through the
 svnurl= and prefix= options.

 The GRASS_ADDON_PATH environment variable is also respected if it is set.


 Is there something else which would be helpful to use beyond that?
 e.g. avoid having to set svnurl=http://localhost/something and instead do
 srcdir=/path/to/...?  In that case why not just set up an alias:
   alias   gmake65='make MODULE_TOPDIR=/usr/src/grass/svn/grass65/'

 and then run `gmake65` from your source dir?

 ps- I think it's a fine thing to use the addons repo as a module
 incubation & development area; my method is to simply not activate the
 Makefile until it's ready for wider consumption. see also the grass
 sandbox repo for personal (but open) experimentation.
