I don't think this script has anything bash-specific in it.

I would probably just

  -- replace /bin/bash by /bin/sh

  -- replace ${GREP=...} by ${GREP:=...}

  -- remove OPTS=... and replace $OPTS by -o "$@" to keep
     the "$@" magic.

Here's another test:

  grep_o_test "word/" "wordword/" "\<word"
