Where to put new executables?

I've written two customized programs for import of data to GRASS.
Now, I'm trying to put the source code and the executables in their
right places in the GRASS directory structure.
The programs are command-line driven only.
I put the source code under src.contrib/CCRS, compiled it there and put
the compiled programs in $(BIN_CONTRIB_CMD). Then I got stuck! I don't
understand the instructions in section 3, GRASS programming changes. How
do I make the programs available from the $(BIN) directory?

ln -s $(BIN_CONTRIB_CMD)/program_name $(BIN)/program_name ???

In that case, what's the purpose of /etc/front.end? How do I include that?

Thank's in advance!
