Well, neither is 100% compatible with each other. Xgrep is extremely
small and 16-bit, but DJGPP's GNU grep is much more robust (but bigger
and 386+ only). We just have to decide whether to have both or only
one or neither (or something else?).

I do think Xgrep is very useful, far better than nothing. I actually
use it a lot. My point was that "maybe" we don't need both (by
default).

Well, we already have FreeBASIC and OpenWatcom, which (despite 386+)
are more robust than the above. Unless you're going for extreme 16-bit
host support, then I don't see a point. And even then, like I said,
they are somewhat buggy. Not horrible, but weak, all things
considered. Maybe better than nothing, but nobody heavily uses them
(if at all) for any major (or minor) FreeDOS projects, AFAIK.
