+
+        * man.el (Man-getpage-in-background): Don't disregard user option
+        `Man-width' on non-window systems.  Remove test for `window-system'
+        around setting envvar "COLUMNS" depending on the value of `Man-width'.
+
+        * progmodes/grep.el (grep-process-setup): Set envvar "TERM" to
+        "emacs-grep".  Set envvar "GREP_OPTIONS" to "--color=auto" instead
+        of "--color=always".
