And on another vein than dmacks's, you shouldn't ever
use this in an info file: fink's sed or ssed will interpret it
the way you intend, but /usr/bin/sed will interpret "-e"
as the backup suffix to be used.
If you need  "-i" in such cases, you should use "-i.bak"
or the like...
(sorry..., but I'm not to blame for this /usr/bin/sed ..)
