Thanks for the reminder of #789.
Actually I searched this morning (UTC) for a recent version of grep for Windows 
but didn't find anything. So I ended up again with grep from UnxUtils but this 
time a slightly newer version (2.5.1) than the version 2.4 we shipped with 
Geany 1.26. That newer version of grep has the `--include` option so it should 
be ok, still it's very old.

Another option would be `grep` from MSYS2, but it would also require to ship 
some runtime libraries of MSYS2 as dependencies.

@codebrainz in #789 you said, you built your own `grep` binary. Is building 
`grep` hard and/or would be the binary suitable for distribution?
