Thanks for dealing with that.
The only potential problem I see with your patch would be when
one runs configure with a perverse program name transformation,
e.g., --program-transform-name='s/^/$/', introducing a shell
metacharacter (or leading/trailing white space!) in the resulting
name. In that case, the lack of single quotes around @grep@
would be fatal.
Fixing that is not high priority. Anyone who does that to
grep deserves the result :-)
