(defgroup grep): Doc fix. (grep-auto-highlight): Remove. (grep-template): New defcustom. (grep-find-template): Rename from grep-tree-template. (grep-files-aliases): Rename from grep-tree-files-aliases. Remove "all" alias, add "l" alias. (grep-tree-ignore-case, grep-tree-ignore-CVS-directories): Remove. (grep-find-ignored-directories): New defcustom to replace grep-tree-ignore-CVS-directories, to facilitate ignoring subdirectories for multiple version control systems. (grep-mode-map): Add Recursive grep item to GREP menu. (grep-regexp-history, grep-files-history): New defvars. (grep-probe): New helper function. (grep-compute-defaults): Use it to simplify code. Adapt to name changes. Use `.' as base in grep-find-template rather than <D>. (grep): Remove superfluous highlight-regexp arg. Fix doc. Call grep-compute-defaults unconditionally. (grep-expand-keywords): New defconst. (grep-expand-template): Rename from grep-expand-command-macros. Simplify via grep-expand-keywords. Look at case-fold-search instead of grep-tree-ignore-case to add -i option. Bind case-fold-search to nil while matching keywords. (grep-tree-last-regexp, grep-tree-last-files): Remove. (grep-read-regexp, grep-read-files): New helper functions. (rgrep): Rename from grep-tree. Rework to use proper histories. Adapt to changes in defcustoms and functions above. (lgrep): New command, as grep, but using same interactive api as rgrep.

This directory contains the source files for the C component of GNU Emacs.
Nothing in this directory is needed for using Emacs once it is built
and installed, if the dumped Emacs (on Unix systems) or the Emacs
executable and map files (on VMS systems) are copied elsewhere.

See the files ../README and then ../INSTALL for installation instructions.

Under GNU and Unix systems, the file `Makefile.in' is used as a
template by the script `../configure' to produce `Makefile.c'.  The
same script then uses `cpp' to produce the machine-dependent
`Makefile' from `Makefile.c'; `Makefile' is the file which actually
controls the compilation of Emacs.  Most of this should work
transparently to the user; you should only need to run `../configure',
and then type `make'.

See the file VMSBUILD in this directory for instructions on compiling,
linking and building Emacs on VMS.

The files `*.com' and `temacs.opt' are used on VMS only.
The files `vlimit.h', `ioclt.h' and `param.h' are stubs to
allow compilation on VMS with the minimum amount of #ifdefs.

`uaf.h' contains VMS uaf structure definitions.  This is only needed if
you define READ_SYSUAF.  This should only be done for single-user
systems where you are not overly concerned with security, since it
either requires that you install Emacs with SYSPRV or make SYSUAF.DAT
world readable.  Otherwise, Emacs can determine information about the
current user, but no one else.
