(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.

we use a C preprocesor not only in the normal compilation of .c files
into object files, but also for creating

	src/Makefile
	lib-src/Makefile

(delimited by comment "start of cpp stuff").  some cpp implementations
insert whitespace in between tokens, which explains the "$(dot)$(dot)"
and "UNEXEC_ALIAS" workarounds for unixoid systems and the bundled
tradcpp/ for vms.  [NOTE: tradcpp/ not yet checked in.]

during makefile creation, the preprocessor symbol NOT_C_CODE is defined.
this should not be defined for normal .c file compilation.

there has been discussion on eliminating this use of cpp and relying
solely on autoconf processing.  rms says to leave it be.
