The GRASS 5.1 snapshots require the corresponding CVS HEAD version of
5.0 (i.e. the contents of the CVS HEAD as of the snapshot date).

They won't work with any of the released 5.0.x source packages, or
with the CVS release branch of 5.0. They may not even work with a CVS
HEAD snapshot of 5.0 if the dates of the 5.0 and 5.1 code are too far
apart.
