config: fix generated config files when GREP_OPTIONS set --color=always

grep is used when generating some .in files (in config.gen). If GREP_OPTIONS
contains --color=always, then the generated files will contains some escape
sequences setting the color, and mconf would choke on those escape sequences.

Always set and export an empty GREP_OPTIONS to avoid that.

     1 This is a somewhat ordered TODO list:
     2 
     3 Recuring tasks:
     4 
     5 - update versions for every tools...
     6 
     7 
     8 Non-recurring tasks:
     9 
    10 - build our own versions for (minimum versions):
    11     m4          1.4.12
    12     autoconf    2.63
    13     automake    1.10.2
    14     libtool     2.2.4
    15 
    16 - uClinux
    17 
    18 - add newlib (for enhanced bare metal)
    19   - may need heavy tweaks and bends in gcc.sh
    20   - try to make it generic, will help for uClibc++
    21   - check whether it supports running under uClinux
    22 
    23 - uClibc++
    24   - see newlib, above
    25 
    26 - Cygwin target (needs newlib)
    27   - so we can complie for Windows/Cygwin
    28 
    29 - mingw32 target
    30   - so we can compile for Windows/Win32
    31 
    32 - mingw32 host
    33   - so we can run natively under Windows/Win32 (without requiring Cygwin)
    34 
    35 - eglibc config file
    36   - see: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2009-05/msg00022.html
