Subject: bug#6114: 23.1; grep-read-files does incorrect wildcard match

From: S Boucher <[email-masked]>

This bug is for (defun grep-read-files (regexp) in file grep.el.

In grep-read-files, there's a call to (wildcard-to-regexp (cdr alias))
with the assumption that (cdr alias) is a single pattern.  However,
the variable grep-files-aliases actually can have multiple patterns
for each alias.  So, the multi-pattern aliases, such as for "cc",
cannot correctly match:

(defcustom grep-files-aliases
  '(("asm" .    "*.[sS]")
    ("c" .     "*.c")
    ("cc" .    "*.cc *.cxx *.cpp *.C *.CC *.c++")
    ... etc...
