[bug-grep] CVS src/mbsupport.h

Hi. You should probably remove the statement that mbsupport.h is
part of GAWK and instead change it to GREP.

I don't think we'll be able to keep the two files identical across
programs.  Nor do I think that that's a problem.

Just for the benefit of the list, the genesis of that file is that there
were different sets of tests in about three different places to define
MBS_SUPPORT.  Only the test were not identical!  That led to hard-to-find
problems.  So I concentrated everything in one file that was the union
of all the existing tests.

This *may* be worth proprosing for standardization, where the name of
the file "mbsupport.h" is standardized, and the constant MBS_SUPPORT is
standardized, but each program has its own set of tests that define its
particular MBS needs.

Thanks,

Arnold
