If my memory is correct (80%) the problem was that the config.bat ran out of
envioronment space and then couldn't guess the type of host. If I ran the
config,bat twice the environment  space went away and then I need to ahrd
code the host type. If I did both of these then they built, but it was
easier and quicker for me to port the latest versions as this only took a
few hours (plus issues with my setup in order to produce the docs).

I have ported grep 2.5fm, find 4.1.7 and Which 2.13 and need to check with
the maintainers top see if they have incorporated the changes from early Dec
that I did. The ports were trivial in respect that you did most of the hard
work and I just had to merge the changes again.
