rgrep is a command in Emacs. No shell script is needed. However the
grep program is needed.
I did make some small changes to rgrep (to make it use GNU grep's
recursive switch), but that is not very important. rgrep works with
the standard Emacs build on ms windows. The only thing you need is
something like the gnuwin32 grep. I have packaged that with the
installation. That is really all (but hopefully convenient for
newbees).
