Perhaps you can use $(SED), so that BSD people can run:
$ gmake SED=gsed
if they would like. I notice a few places where plain 'grep' is used.
They are simple expressions, but I will probably change them anyways.
I don't see an issue of adding that flexibility,
though we'd need to default the variables in the script if not set
to support calling it directly.
cheers,
