It's needed for the mvme68k miniroot (which uses grep(1)). A quick scan
through some other ports' miniroots shows that mvme68k is not the only
one.

Since the miniroot images tend not to have the same space constraints as
a bootfloppy ramdisk, the addition of this library isn't an issue. As long
as the bootfloppy ramdisks don't include grep(1), this library will not be
pulled into the image.

Cheers, Steve
