          <para>[jhuntwork] - Moved grep up in the build order of chapter 6
          to be before libtool which hardcodes references to grep in its installed
          files. Was previously circumvented by a symlink, but this approach sticks
          more closely to our build order policy. Thanks to Greg Schafer for the reminder.</para>
