APPROVE COMMIT SUPERSEDES m23b9jglsl.fsf(a)silver.local Back in October Stephen suggested that we follow Emacs' new practice of 'grep -E' rather then egrep: http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2006-October/009766.html I posted a patch to do this, but for one reason or another it wasn't applied: http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-patches/2006-October/000010.html This is a slightly revised version of that patch. The only change is the use of $EGREP rather than 'grep -E' in aclocal.m4, so that we can rely on configure to work out if grep does what we want. This patch has been committed.
