Didn't know Avrukh talked about it in his books.
I have them, actually.

I looked at the lines, I'm not sure what I feel but I think that black is ok.

1. Nf3 d6 2. d4 Bg4 

A) 3. e4 Nf6 4. Nc3 Nc6 5. Be3 d5 6. e5 Ne4 7. Bd3 Nxc3 8. bxc3 e6 9. O-O Na5 and if I'm not mistaken black is quite ok?
Has ...c5 coming up and with the bishop out side of the pawn chain I think he may have a better french, no? 

B) 3. c4 Nd7 4. Nc3 e5 (4... c5 5. d5) 5. g3 Be7 (5... f5 6. Ng5 Qe7 7. Nd5) 6. Bg2 Ngf6 (6... f5 7. dxe5 dxe5 8.
O-O e4 9. Nd4) 7. h3 Bxf3 8. Bxf3 c6 and again Black looks ok to me.

Also quite effective is 3.c4, with the intention of 3...Nd7 4.Nc3 e5 5.g3! as advised by Avrukh. Against 3...Bxf3, recapture with exf3, play d5 at a good moment and be happy with two bishops and more space.
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
