Your last suggestion is easily and obviously better -- I'll assume you 
don't need an explicit patch and can just hand-edit mine.  Still, I'd have 
thought egrep was fine.  As far as I recall, it goes back to v7 Unix.  Or 
are there non-unix systems at issue (perhaps cygwin variants or something) 
that have grep but not egrep?

Anyway, thanks.
