emaste af85d5feea bsdgrep: disable GNU_GREP_COMPAT by default
The GNU extension bits in the base system are old, no longer faithful
to upstream, and surprising in some regards. Switch to documenting
WITH_GNU_GREP_COMPAT and default GNU_GREP_COMPAT to OFF in the name of
good behavior.

According to http://www.regular-expressions.info, GNU extensions:

-  Add missing quantifiers to BREs: \?, \+

-  Add branching to BREs: \|

-  Add backreferences (\1 through \9) to EREs

-  Add \w, \W, \s, and \S corresponding to :alnum:, [^[:alnum:]],
   :space:, and [^[:space:]] respectively

-  Add word boundaries and anchors:
   \b: word boundary
   \B: not word boundary
   \<: Strt of word
   \>: End of word
   \`: Start of subject string
    \': End of subject string

These extensions are still available in /usr/bin/grep by default today,
as it is still GNU grep.  As part of the bsdgrep migration plan these
extensions may be added to bsdgrep's regex support if necessary.

This directory tree contains tools used for the maintenance and

these tools are not meant to be built as part of the standard system,
though there may be individual Makefiles in some of the subdirs.
