BTW I think someone (maybe myself, but that would be slow) should investigate the way distros build grep. Gentoo applies just too many patches so one can't seriously consider the "grep" package trouble-free.
FWIW, activity on grep appears to have restarted. Redhat looks like they're keen on getting patches applied upstream now (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-grep/2005-04/index.html). We've lived with `grep' in its current state for long enough, I'll hold off changing instructions or adding patches to it for now.
