A clarification:

GRASS whatever uses PROJ (not libproj4 from G. Evenden) by
default, in details:

- GRASS 4.x + 5.0 use the old PROJ4 from USGS (included in source code)
- GRASS 5.3/5.7 use the (fresh) external PROJ4 from remotesensing.org 
  by default, but can be compiled to use the old PROJ4 from USGS 
  (as still included in source code)

GRASS was changed to use the external PROJ4 from remotesensing.org to
utilize the datum transformation routines and the latest fixes.

Mandrake provides PROJ4 from remotesensing.org.

Our hope is that in future PROJ4 from remotesensing.org will be based on
the updated libproj4 from G. Evenden + include the datum transformation
routines.

It might be possible to compile GRASS 5.3/5.7 against libproj4 from 
G. Evenden (since the API is similar), but AFAIK you will then miss
the datum transformation routines.

Hope this helps
