It fails like this:

     Running c-api.test
     'CUR' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
     operable program or batch file.
     egrep: Unmatched ( or \('CUR' is not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file.

This is because it quotes shell commands /bin/sh '..' style:

     (define (egrep string filename)
       (zero? (system (string-append "egrep '" string "' " filename
                                     " >" %null-device))))

The solution is to use the ".." style of quoting:

OK to push such a change?
