using scripts for egrep and fgrep may be removed
Let's not remove the scripts, as they're better on platforms where they're supported. Users of a script can more-easily understand and modify what it does, which is a better match for the GNU project's overarching goals.
Instead, we should use scripts on GNUish platforms, and fall back on binary executables only on platforms that don't have a working shell.
