Thank you Jim for your quick answers, and sorry for the blunders above.

I've noticed that grep uses a definition of TESTS_ENVIRONMENT very similar
to that of coreutils (the one we've just fixed), so it will break with
oncoming automake too.  Unfortunately, I don't have an FSF assignment
for grep, so someone else should fix that issue :-(
