[GRASSLIST:2626] Re: Compilation of grass54src_cvs

[Scott Mitchell]

Yes, the newer system incorporates the release number and the date of 
the "snapshot" into the directory name, so those instructions are out 
of date.

In your case, the directory name you need to "jump to" is 
grass53_exp_2004_02_14

I'll update the instructions.
