I fully agree with you - grep was the first thing coming to my mind when I read the first few lines of your post. A configure option '--without-grep' and later a fallback may be nice, though. I cannot think of a UNIX system without grep, but I can think of lots of systems where grep is not as functional as GNU grep. We should therefore make careful use of GNU grep's capabilities and check with other greps in regards of output format and functionality.
Any UNIX system is guaranteed to have grep. The question, as you say, is what flags are supported. Well, this UNIX specification document I found, http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/grep.html, lists all the completely common flags. It seems like we can do what we want with these flags alone.
I'm not so concerned with supporting a fallback -- I mean, we can just say that Beaver requires grep/sed. That seems like a very easy-to-meet requirement.
For the expand/collapse functionality there should be a GtkTreeView of course.
Yes. -mt
