The problem is that -r only recurses into directories which match the pattern *.inf (which none of them do, of course!) This is indeed annoying behaviour, but I think it's the same on Unix.

Ah, so you have hit this on Unix. So the recursion issue is for the developers of grep, rather than an issue with the gnuwin32 port.
