Mh, so what you're saying is that we can assume that
/usr/local/bin/grep is *always* going to be GNU grep? That's probably
a fair assumption.

I disagree that the hunk should be squashed in, though, since this
patch simply changes the error message and not what's been checked.
It should go in separately, either after this series or before it.

Do you want me to post it in that form, or would you rather do that
yourself since you have already done the work? Whatever is more
convenient for you :)
