How does this compare to the existing wgrep package? That doesn't have 
copyright assignment to the FSF, but otherwise, I think it's the bar 
against which any similar package should be measured. I use it pretty 
frequently (and have even written a plugin for it for my own grep-like 
major mode), and it's pretty much exactly the way I'd want this sort of 
thing to work. Something with feature-parity that lives in the Emacs 
tree would be great though.
