Hi,
My problem is that M-x agrep
M-x fgrep and all other greps produce the message as
 >  symbol's value as variable is void: grep-null-device

A google search told me that this was because emacs was badly installed.
I am using the win32 patch, the source of which seems to be included in 
the \nt directory of cvs release.

So I thought that doing a build would be as easy as building ruby.
I was very much wrong.  3 hours later.

I do cd /nt
./configure.bat
make bootstrap

it chugs away nicely for 3 minutes and then we get the error as follows
