 Despite vestiges of multibyte support, 2.5 is poorly localized for single 
 char locales. Better wait until they complete localization (mainly, in 
 regex code). BTW, -current have 2.4.2.

 What do you need from 2.5.1, speficially?  And by the way,
 2.5.1 source distribution is not downloadable at the moment,
 and it's in this state for about a year already (I believe
 since the ftp.gnu.org was root compromised).  At least it
 was not downloadable a few months ago when I last checked.
 It also looks like a dead project, but I may be mistaken:
 
 http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/grep/grep/src/

 Ah. Well, I'd like the color highlighting functionality, which looks like 
 it was introduced in February 2001, so it'd be in 2.5 as well.
