Hmm. I found that 2.5 is too early bird, it even not pass its own tests
suite. I attempt to fix the test fails, but broke other test. Since the
matter is too complex (how grep/egrep/fgrep should do to satisfy both
tradition usage and POSIX), we'll better wait until 2.5.1 or something
like when it will become self-consistent.

Meanwhile I'll probably import 2.4.2 while I already in there (no -D yet).
