Description of problem:
autopoint fails if the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable contains the -n
(prefix each line of output with line number) option.

This happens because autopoint assumes that grep outputs lines of the source
file in an unmodified form, which is not always true.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd to a directory with a configure.ac file which contains the
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION macro
2. run "GREP_OPTIONS=-n autopoint --force"

Actual results:
autopoint: *** Missing version: please specify in configure.ac through a line
'AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(x.yy.zz)' the gettext version the package is using
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1

Expected results:
autopoint succeeds as if the -n grep option was not set.
