- NetBSD and FreeBSD versions of grep have an environment variable called GREP_OPTIONS which is added before any options given on the commandline
- This version did the same thing for env variable TCGREP so it could be renamed for slightly better BSD compatibility
- Update pod to explain how commandline options are used with respect to GREP_OPTIONS
- Referring to grep as tcgrep in the pod manual is confusing because the program is installed as grep not tcgrep; users might looks for tcgrep and not find it
