  I could see ensuring that the grep (and other invocations) use the
  minimal common behaviour of the "sunos", XPG, and GNU (for
  porting/cross-compilation scenarios), but I don't see any point to
  changing bldenv's default path settings.  Can you characterize the
  problem or problems you see these changes fixing?
