Just for people's edification, you can avoid a gnu grep dependency on
the -H flag and still solve the xargs-single-file problem by using the
trick:

  find ... | xargs grep <options> /dev/null

However, there's no substitute for the find -0 | xargs -0 options, so in
this case there's no reason not to use the -H flag.
