A grass-config would probably facilitate the development of an automated
GRASS-Addons integration script (which downloads Addon from SVN, then
compiles it according to the local settings)

Add-ons should get all the configuration information they need from the
*.make files.

Parsing *.make won't work; given that values can be arbitrary make
expressions, you would need to duplicate make's functionality exactly.
You would be better off just invoking make on a suitable Makefile, e.g.:
{{{
$ cat foo.mk
MODULE_TOPDIR = $(GISBASE)
include $(MODULE_TOPDIR)/include/Make/Vars.make
var.%: @echo $($*)
$ make -f foo.mk var.PNGLIB
-lpng -lz -lm
}}}

None of them, really. GRASS isn't a single library; you would need
separate options for each component.

Comment:
The file grass-config.patch adds a basic version of what grass-config
could be. Note that it uses the configured values of /prefix and so on to
figure out where GRASS has been installed. Applies to trunk. This can be
expanded to have more options or more varied options...
