Re: grep-2.5.1: broken egrep

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

An alternative to using

        exec $prefix/bin/grep ...

is

        exec `dirname $0`/grep ...

This avoids hardcoding a path into the scripts, at the cost of
another process invocation for dirname (possibly several:
on some systems, dirname is itself a shell script).
