Wow! If you had major sed dependancies, you probably could have saved yourself
some pain and left the heavy lifting to a real sed implementation. esr's sed,
or an old version of GNU sed arn't _that_ big (but they are bigger the bb sed).
The Debian boot floppies use busybox, but they turned off BB sed and used the
real thing. I was going to be to painful for then to switch over.
Sometime, we should probably make BB sed fully comformant with the full sed
language.

Sure. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You'd probably break something...
