Hi,
It would be useful to have the main functionality of the "grep" program
in a GPLed library. The GNU gettext program "msggrep" needs to call grep
hundreds of times for a given 100 KB input file, and users complain that
it is slow. It would be faster if msggrep could use a library. It is
irrelevant whether this library is installed as a shared library, or if
its source code is included in gnulib.
