FYI I have been using a nice, very small, quite fast, and mostly
complete, implementation of fgrep on my machines that I do put in /bin.

$ file obj/fgrep  
obj/fgrep: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped
$ size obj/fgrep obj/fgrep.o
text    data    bss     dec     hex     filename
47627   3736    22036   73399   11eb7   obj/fgrep
3727    4       0       3731    e93     obj/fgrep.o

 *           (not yet implemented)
 *      -x : (Exact) only lines that match in their entirety are printed (V7)
 *      -y : lower case letters in the pattern will also match upper case

If there's any desire to do the same in NetBSD I can send-pr this
implementation.  (and anyone else who would like a copy need only ask! ;-)

(I also use a non-GNU grep, but it's in /usr/bin as statically linked
it's over 150KB on i386, even stripped)

(oh, and ATT awk, static-linked in /bin, is well under 190KB even
without being stripped, and well worth every byte in /bin too!)
