Currently, if GNU grep is not installed on a FreeBSD system the
configuration step will fail with
Program grep found: YES (/usr/bin/grep)
  Program /usr/local/bin/grep found: NO
ERROR: Program '/usr/local/bin/grep' not found
which is confusing and not very useful; after this change, the
message will be
Program grep found: YES (/usr/bin/grep)
  Program /usr/local/bin/grep found: NO
ERROR: Problem encountered: GNU grep not found
instead, which should do a better job helping the user figure
out that they need to install GNU grep from ports to proceed.
