Fixed in r46244.

The next issue is (compiling GRASS the first time):

GRASS_PERL=/usr/bin/perl VERSION_NUMBER=6.4.2svn sh
/usr/local/grass-6.4.2svn/tools/g.html2man/g.html2man
/home/neteler/grass64_svn_relbranch_bin_snapshot/grass64_relbranch/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/docs/html/r.buffer.html
/home/neteler/grass64_svn_relbranch_bin_snapshot/grass64_relbranch/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/man/man1/r.buffer.1
1
sh: /usr/local/grass-6.4.2svn/tools/g.html2man/g.html2man: No such
file or directory

which is related to
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/46243

The only solution will be
- check if $(INSTALL_DATA)/tools/g.html2man/g.html2man is installed,
- otherwise use $(GRASS_HOME)/tools/g.html2man/g.html2man

No idea how to write that in a Makefile...
