The patches in question involve test scripts which themselves invoke 
external grep for various reasons. An example is t5560 where external 
grep is invoked to extract the Status: header from an HTTP response. The 
patches fix instances where grep invocations give incorrect results on 
Windows due to grep undesirably swallowing CR from CRLF line-terminators 
in the few tests where those terminators are actually significant (such 
as t5560). In the context of these test scripts, external grep is still 
employed, so GREP_OPTIONS may still be relevant.
