Hi Assaf,
Thanks a lot for doing that.
I haven't looked at the actual changes yet, but did notice that
"make distcheck" failed for me like this:

  Making dvi in .
  make[2]: Entering directory '/j/grep/grep-3.3.3-dd5a1/_build/sub'
    TEXI2DVI doc/grep.dvi
  /p/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.

This change fixed it:
