Hmm. It's documented in autoconf 2.54+. Perhaps they added it then - I wish
they said when they added or changed macros in the documentation. But,
without that on autoconf-2.54+, $EGREP isn't defined and the AC_EGREP_HEADER
check in svn-apache.m4 will fail. I wonder if previous version just relied on
the presence of egrep? -- justin
