It doesn't matter; use whatever you want.

Btw, I'm not sure it's a good idea to upload to SimTel ports of alpha
and beta versions of GNU packages, such as Grep 2.5.8 and Findutils
4.1.7.  Do we have any reason to believe they are stable enough?  If
they are stable, why don't the respective maintainers make an official
release?

Also, IIRC Grep 2.5.x has a new feature: it can colorize its output.
I don't think this feature was ported to work in the DJGPP version;
is it a good idea to release a port that doesn't support that?
