NOT QUITE - there is an error in the shell scripts for egrep/fgrep
Example
  #!/bin/sh
  exec grep -E ${1+"$@"}
       ^^^^

They reference "grep" not the name of the program installed (ie with
program prefix and suffix) in my case ggrep, so the Makefile.am needs
to be updated to ensure it is generating the  correct shell script.

Hope this helps,
