the default dir should be set by the packager before compile with:
  ./configure --with-proj-share=

Or by the user at run time with "Define new location with... -> Path to
the EPSG-codes file"

But note that's only for the startup GUI EPSG search tool (AFAIK), not
the rest of GRASS. The rest of GRASS (ie "g.proj -c" used by
make_location_epsg.sh.in) depends on PROJ.4 being installed properly.
(so e.g. GDAL can find it too)
