$(RELDIR) is just $(CURDIR) minus $(GRASS_HOME):

	RELDIR		:= $(subst $(GRASS_HOME)/,,$(CURDIR))

Like $(CURDIR), it's different for each subdirectory, so it's not
something which can be put into a header file.

However, it's also not used for anything other than error messages, so
compiling with e.g. -DRELDIR= or -DRELDIR=\"$(CURDIR)\" is safe.

I've added a fallback in r62632.
