Follow-up Comment #4, sr #110657 (project autoconf):
For the record, despite this having been marked "won't do", I _would_ consider
and review a patch (against current development trunk) that would make
configure scripgs set $EGREP and $GREP to `egrep` on systems where `egrep -e`
works but `grep -E -e` doesn't work. It's just that neither Paul nor I have
the time, nor the necessary test environment, to develop such a patch.
