OK. Stepan, can you please do that? (I'm asking only reluctantly; I
don't have a lot of time to contribute to grep. But at least I should
be able to clean up the messes I made. :-)

Shouldn't the shell name be configured?

The ${0%/*}/ construction won't work in older shells: I suspect
they'll exit immediately when they detect it.
More important, this style of solution still doesn't conform to the
GNU coding standards. For example, if I install grep into
/usr/local/bin and then move /usr/local/bin/fgrep to /usr/bin, then
the new /usr/bin/fgrep won't work as desired: it will call
/usr/bin/grep rather than /usr/local/bin/grep.
It's OK if we have this kind of solution as an installation-time
option, but it shouldn't be the default.
