New grep version crashes customizepkg #25

New grep 2.24.1 throws error about insecure usage of $ and ^ in perl type regexp when '-z' is enebled. This is a fix around pcre mishandling those type of patterns grep commit Fix: remove '-z' flag (multi-line fields rarely if ever appears in PKGBUILD )

Tell that to qemu... https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/plain/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/qemu

(I'm not disagreeing that this is a problem, but this needs a real fix, not just a workaround that breaks packages)

I reverted the multiline change, so customizepkg works now (but not for multiline fields). Multiline support isue discussed here: https://github.com/ava1ar/customizepkg/issues/19
