Can we make Grep exit with 0 no matter if it matched something or not? 
So that non-zero means an actual problem.

There is no suitable command-line option, it seems, but maybe there's a 
shell-based option? Like 'grep ... || exit 0', but I don't think we want 
to swallow exit statuses higher than 1.

Alternatively, I suppose we can learn to determine that the user has no 
working find and grep inside grep-compute-defaults, and possibly avoid 
setting grep-find-template in that case.
