    I like very much this one. For specific case or region, we can just
    ask the user to replace those minimal data with a specific data set
    before starting.


Yes, but even now you can something better than that in 7.6 and 7.8. See my previous response. GRASS GIS tries to guess where is your grassdata directory. It needs to be named that way ("grassdata") and it needs to be in your home directory or in your Documents directory. (It should work regardless of locale at least on Linux and Windows. From the comments in the code [1], it seems I didn't study macOS when I implemented that, but I would expected that to work.) Let us know if this works for you. (Does it behave this way and is it what you are looking for?)

Any reason you only look for grassdata in lower case ? I might be old fashioned, but personnally I generally follow the idea of lowercase = file, uppercase = directory. Why not check for grassdata regardless of case, i.e. also accepting GRASSDATA or Grassdata or GRASSData?
