I have now updated the patch with only a long option.

There's one comment in grep.c that is currently confusing in this area:

grep.c:283:

/* Non-boolean long options that have no corresponding short equivalents. 
*/

but the list that follows already includes boolean options like 
LINE_BUFFERED_OPTION, and of course I've just added another. Perhaps this 
comment should have "Non-boolean" removed?
