cygwin's grep gave the proper results once I ensured that all 0x0d ==
CR were stripped from the relevant files -- as a bonus said grep
properly handled search strings longer than 115+ chars. Example:

grep -F -f SR_req\'d *def

I've got cygwin installed, so I'll see how its grep holds up.

This doesn't answer you question directly but Perl is practically
designed for such problems -- in many cases these changes become
litterally one line programs.

ActivePerl (.com) for Win32 is excellent.
