The problem is that grep-compute-defaults overwrites `grep-command',
`grep-find-command' et al.


emacs -Q
M-x set-variable RET grep-command RET "ls" RET
M-x grep RET RET
M-x set-variable RET grep-command RET "ll" RET
M-x grep RET   => The old command is still used.


This used to work in Emacs 22.
