Seems that I have to have a fully compiled GRASS src tree in order to
compile a GRASS module.  When I did a top-level make on the src tree,
the module compiled without those include errors.  Now, I have errors
about linking but I believe that is more 5.x to 6.x conversion stuff
that I have so far missed.

That is definitely NOT in the INSTALL file (in the section "COMPILING
INDIVIDUAL MODULES - OWN MODULES) and it really needs to be if that is
that case.

Can anyone else confirm that this is indeed the case?  that the src tree
has to be compiled (but not necessarily installed) to compile a GRASS
module?
