Description bero 1999-09-24 19:20:00 UTC 
FreeBSD uses GNU grep 2.0, which is obsolete.
There are various reasons why 2.3 should be included; among other things, it
fixes several bugs, improves POSIX compliance and introduces the rather
useful -r (recursive grep) option.

I have adapted it to the FreeBSD build system; a patch to the current
FreeBSD tree is included.
