Greetings!

The latest release of grep officially deprecates egrep in favor of "grep -E". In the build process, we have handled this in our autoconf script, but egrep persists in our test scripts, causing failures. Changing all occurrences of "egrep" to "grep -E" in our test scripts will fix this. How do we want to handle this?

Regards,

Vin Shelton
