Ah well... I guess I'll label it an rfc patch next time I post something 
like that.

When I was going through the code this morning I just noticed that cat 
was used only 4 times and grep just once. Personally I prefer to keep 
the number of pulled in utilities as small as possible. Hence the 
replacement. If you don't like the way I did it, please suggest 
something else.
