You may (or may not) also need MYNAME, VAR and WIND files in the
PERMANENT directory. See the demolocation directory (this is used when
GRASS commands are run during the build process, e.g. for generating
the HTML files).

You might be better off using "g.proj -c location=..." to create the
location directory. This should work without needing a current
location (this is how the GUI to create a new location for a given
EPSG code operates). I suspect that $GISBASE and $GISRC still need to
be set, but it shouldn't care about the contents of the $GISRC file.
