grep-2.5: install problem

The "make install" step for grep-2.5 fails on all systems because
the Makefile commands attempt to make symlinks from the installed
grep to egrep and fgrep, but "ln -s" fails when those files
already exist.   It is imperative to first remove $(prefix)/bin/{egrep,fgrep}
before issuing the "ln -s" commands!
