    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The following set of changes aims to make "egrep" and "fgrep" minimal
executable programs for legacy applications, instead of shell scripts.  This
"fgrep" is much smaller than "grep".  This set of changes appears more
daunting than it really is.

Full ChangeLog entry within.  Apply relative to current CVS.

Please test and comment.
