Here's a patch for that.  This patch doesn't affect any messages, so
it won't affect any of the translations being done for grep.  This
patch is taken from Albert Chin's latest message on this and other subjects
<http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-gnu-utils/2002-March/009950.html>
Bernhard, perhaps you should look at the other parts of Albert's patch?
They might be useful too, and they don't affect translations either.

        * src/Makefile.am (egrep, fgrep): Apply $(transform) to grep,
        and prepend $(bindir).  This is taken from a patch by Albert
        Chin.
