The variable EGREP is used in info/t/Init-inter.inc but not defined. This
leads to errors like the following when the tests are run on Cygwin:

info/t/Init-inter.inc: line 28: -iv: command not found

This code was actually copied from the texi2dvi program. Following
that, it would be easy to add the missing line

: ${EGREP=egrep}

to the file.

Alternatively, we could just assume that the path separator is ":" in
t/Init-inter.inc. I doubt that the tests would work on any system
where semicolon was needed as the path separator. Any objections to
this?

Either alternative is fine with me.
