That's a bit unusual. Typically, one sets a program in the
environment, like GREP or EGREP, when a particular version is needed.
I would recommend skip the Autotools tests for grep if GREP is set,
and skip the Autotools test for egrep if EGREP is set. Then use
${GREP} and ${EGRE} in the scripts. And nowadays, egrep is no longer
a separate program (or alias or link) so set EGREP to `${GREP} -E`
when needed.
