- Fix pcre detection
- Add --color={always,never,tty} argument
- Add --devices (analogous to --directories)
- Don't enable blinking by default
- Document changes
* configure.in: Detect pcre correctly even when it's in
non-standard locations, using pcre-config
* src/grep.c: Add --color={always,never,tty} argument (like in ls)
* src/grep.c: Turn off blinking in the default colorization
* src/grep.c: Add --devices (-D) switch (analogous to --directories)
* doc/grep.texi, doc/grep.1: Document changes (--color, --devices, -D)
