>Environment:

	n/a

>Description:

	The /usr/bin/zgrep sh script does not understand `--' to end processing
	of command options.  This means one cannot search for a string starting
	with a dash because `--' isn't passed to grep.

>How-To-Repeat:

	zgrep -- -l /usr/share/man/man3/*

	gives repeated errors of:
	usage: grep [-[AB] <num>] [-HRPS] [-CEFGLVabchilnqsvwx]
				[-e <expr>] [-f file] [files ...]

>Fix:
	
	Ask Joerg/Ollivier to rewrite it in Perl???  :-)  J/K
