I'd replace -s >/dev/null 2>&1 with -q while at it.
But why is -F used here in the first place?
I do not see much in debian that can be interpreted as a regex?
I'm not sure. It was there since 2004. Perhaps the author thinks fgrep
may save several CPU cycles :). I'll just use a plain grep in PATCH v2.
Rainer: do you have some idea about the availability of "-q" on
different hosts? If you agree I'll use it instead of -s > /dev/null
too.
Is there any particular reason why we should not use the result of
AC_PROG_FGREP ? AC_PROG_GREP should also work.
