Subject: bug#23219: 25.0.92; Find command cannot be customized for grep-find
Date: Mon, 04 Apr 2016 23:37:38 +0300

On one of my machines, the GNU Find utility's executable file is named
'gfind'.  To have xref-collect-matches work, I customized
grep-find-command to have the value "gfind", but the find-grep pipe
used after that still tried to invoke 'find', not 'gfind'.  Looking
around, I see that grep-compute-defaults effectively ignores
grep-find-command and uses the value of find-program instead.  Now,
find-program is a defvar, so it wasn't supposed to be customized.  Its
value is never changed, no matter what are your customizations.

How am I supposed to make this stuff work in this situation?  If the
solution is to poke find-program, it should be defcustom, and I
shouldn't need to customize 2 variables to begin with.  Why isn't
find-program get the value from grep-find-command?  Am I missing
something?
