Okay, fixed in grep.el (revno 100367 on the emacs-23 branch).

I found only 2 more instances of this that need to be fixed.  One of
them is in jka-compr.el, where it calls `dd' in a pipe.  I fixed that
one.  The other one is in tramp.el, which uses shell pipelines a lot;
however, the only ones that need to be fixed are those that invoke
_local_ programs, not remote programs, as the latter will not be on a
Windows machine.  Michael, could you please take care of that (on the
emacs-23 branch)?  I gather that you have your master repository, so
doing it from there would be less hassle for you, and you know the
semantics of each pipeline better than I do.  Thanks.
