v.in.mif exists in 5.0.x and 5.3's source trees, and compiles, but isn't
built by default. There's probably a reason for that (buggy?).
cd src/mapdev/v.in.mif
gmake5
gmakelinks5
In GRASS 5.7, --with-gdal, use:
v.in.ogr

Which probably works quite well.
If you've got 5.3 compiling, you can probably get 5.7 going without too
much trouble as well. You can then export to a format 5.3 likes or stick
with 5.7.
[install GDAL first. http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal\]
good luck,
Hamish

Here should be the answer:

The fixes applied later seem to be related to compiler/portability
issues.

You could simply download a precompiled version to try it
out (Linux, MacOSX, MS-Windows/Cygwin). Some of these builts are compiled
weekly in an automated way.
