Yes; I just wanted to patch only single file.
If we are going to patch each file that uses egrep, we can use
zsh pattern matching in each of them; for example:
diff --git a/Test/D07multibyte.ztst b/Test/D07multibyte.ztst
index e2e9a25ef..cde3f2b81 100644
--- a/Test/D07multibyte.ztst
+++ b/Test/D07multibyte.ztst
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@
unset -m LC_\*
mb_ok=
langs=(en_{US,GB}.{UTF-,utf}8 en.UTF-8
- $(locale -a 2>/dev/null | egrep 'utf8|UTF-8'))
+ ${(M)$(locale -a 2>/dev/null):#*.(utf8|UTF-8)} )
for LANG in $langs; do
if [[ é = ? ]]; then
mb_ok=1
I don't know which is better.

Hmm, then, if we _know_ the system(s) on which 'grep -E' does not work
we can define EGREP in ztst.zsh depending on $OSTYPE. But I feel this
is not a good idea.
