I don't think so. The trunk's at version 1.8. It has: (defvar igrep-find-use-xargs (cond ((and (equal (call-process igrep-find-program nil nil nil igrep-null-device "-print0") 0) (equal (call-process "xargs" nil nil nil "-e" "-0" "cat") 0)) 'gnu) ((not (equal system-type 'darwin)))) ; not MacOS "Whether `\\[igrep-find]' uses the `xargs` program or not. If `gnu', it executes `find ... -print0 | xargs -0 -e grep ...`; if not `gnu' but non-nil, it executes `find ... -print | xargs -e grep ...`; if nil, it executes `find ... -exec grep ...`.") ... which contains the check. (And I use it on FreeBSD every day.) Is there some confusion over the code you're looking at? (Or the code I'm looking at :-) ? )
