- Remove superfluous semicolon

backported that was written for the TRE integration project in Google
Summer of Code 2011. This is a temporary solution until the whole
regex library is not replaced so that BSD grep development can continue
and the backported code gets some review and testing. This change only
improves scalability slightly, there is no big performance boost yet
but several minor bugs have been found and fixed.

If WITH_BSD_GREP is not set, it will be 'bsdgrep' and GNUgrep will be
'[ef]grep'. Otherwise, BSD-grep will be the grep family, and GNUgrep
will be 'gnugrep'.

- Makefile nit
- Add more CVS/SVN keywords to make it easier to track changes from NetBSD
in case they add further improvements

Deliverables: Small and clean code (1,4 KSLOC vs GNU's 8,5 KSLOC),
lower memory usage than GNU grep, GNU compatibility,
BSD license.
TODO: Performance is somewhat behind GNU grep but it is only
significant for bigger searches. The reason is complex, the
most important factor is that GNU grep uses lots of
optimizations to improve the speed of the regex library.
First, we need a modern regex library (practically by adopting
TRE), add support for GNU-style non-standard regexes and then
reevalute the performance issues and look for bottlenecks. In
the meantime, for those, who need better performance, it is
possible to build GNU grep by setting WITH_GNU_GREP.
