+Mike Haertel would like to thank Andrew Hume for many fascinating discussions
of string searching issues over the years. Hume & Sunday's excellent
paper on fast string searching (AT&T Bell Laboratories CSTR #156)
describes some of the history of the subject, as well as providing
exhaustive performance analysis of various implementation alternatives.
The inner loop of GNU grep is similar to Hume & Sunday's recommended
"Tuned Boyer Moore" inner loop.

+More work was done on regex.[ch] by Ulrich Drepper and Arnold
+Robbins. Regex is now part of GNU C library, see this package
+for complete details and credits.
+
+Arnold Robbins contributed to improve dfa.[ch]. In fact
+it came straight from gawk-3.0.3 with small editing and fixes.
+
+Many folks contributed see THANKS, if I omited someone please
+send me email.

+Alain Magloire is the current maintainer.
