Thanks Jürgen and Helmut.

That would certainly improve things. The use of ancient tools is definitely
also holding me back. Having the OSGeo4W installer and package setups on GitHub
would be very appealing environment for me as a potential contributor. I
realize this not a simple thing to do but it might be a good investment for the
long term success of the project. That's a discussion for another day though.

This was what I was looking for. Great. I've looked at a few of the more recent
build recipes for PROJ and I think the problem is caused by what is included in
the final archive. The 4.93 package it is archived with:
tar cjf %R%\%P%-%V%-%B%.tar.bz2 ^
bin ^
include ^
lib ^
etc ^
share/proj/epsg ^
share/proj/esri ^
share/proj/esri.extra ^
share/proj/GL27 ^
share/proj/IGNF ^
share/proj/nad.lst ^
share/proj/nad27 ^
share/proj/nad83 ^
share/proj/null ^
share/proj/other.extra ^
share/proj/proj_def.dat ^
share/proj/worl
Whereas the 5.0 packages are archived with:
tar cjf %R%\%P%-%V%-%B%.tar.bz2 ^
bin ^
include ^
lib ^
etc ^
share/proj
It is not clear to me why that has changed. I guess the intention is that
everything in share/proj is included in the archive. I can't see from the build
script how share/proj is populated though, so something may have gone wrong in
that step. Maybe you can clear that up, Jürgen?

For many packages you'll find a -src.tar.bz2 next to the package, which
contains the build recipe.
