[bug-grep] building on Mac OS 10.3

[Elliott Hughes]

Mac OS 10.3 has an automake (1.6.3) too old for the recent grep changes:

hydrogen:~/Projects/gnu.org/grep$ make
cd . && /bin/sh /Users/elliotth/Projects/gnu.org/grep/missing --run 
aclocal
aclocal: configure.in: 96: macro `AM_GNU_GETTEXT' not found in library
aclocal: configure.in: 104: macro `AM_SEP' not found in library
make: *** [aclocal.m4] Error 1
hydrogen:~/Projects/gnu.org/grep$

presumably other Unixes ship with an automake that's too old, and we're 
happy saying that anyone wanting to build grep has to build their own 
automake first?

(i don't much care; i'm just pointing this out in case it's not well 
known that Mac OS has fairly old versions of stuff like make and 
automake. and grep.)
