After installing cygwin on one of my boss's machines, he too
was missing grep - and I know for certain he's never installed
cygwin on his machine.  However, I'll hunt this down.  On my
machine at least I have maybe half a dozen different installs
sitting around in various states of disrepair.  Once I can get
it working correctly on my machine, I'll look at his.

thanks,
