Yes, to CVS. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that probably.

You can also use the latest CVS snapshot:
http://grass.itc.it/download.html
Or, even easier, extract the file from the web-CVS:

http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass/src.contrib/GMSL/NVIZ2.2/src/
and download the include files from there.
