Binary distributions of grep are not provided by the GNU grep project, 
so we cannot help directly.  Unfortunately, the 10 days that passed 
since your post gives me the impression that nobody on this list knows.

cygwin still has grep 2.6.3 (http://cygwin.com/packages/grep/), which 
still has a few bugs that were fixed in 2.7.
