GNU GREP - --program-prefix failure and gmake check failures

[Peter Bray]

Greetings.

GNU GREP 2.5 / Solaris 8 INTEL / GCC 3.0.2

Issues:
1. gmake check - tests/*.sh needed chmod +x
2. gmake check - 1 failure

      Spencer bre test #16 failed
      FAIL: bre.sh
      ====================
      1 of 10 tests failed
      ====================

3. ./configure --prefix=/pkgs/grep-2.5 --program-prefix=g
   Results in the installation of 
        - ggrep (correct)
        - egrep -> grep (incorrect - should be gegrep -> ggrep)
        - fgrep -> grep (incorrect - should be gegrep -> ggrep)
   Manual Pages are correct

4. Renaming egrep to gegrep and correcting the symlink to ggrep
   Renaming fgrep to gfgrep and correcting the symlink to ggrep

   Run gegrep now and it does not understand that it is running 
   in egrep mode and not grep mode, thus extended regexps are 
   ignored. gegrep -E as expected does work. This bug did not exist 
   in GNU GREP 2.4.2, unfortunaely the ignore case problem with 
   egrep (example '^[A-Z ]+$' matches lowercase letters) has caused
   as to upgrade to 2.5 which fixes the problem.

Hope this helps
