Problem with sed is that it has a set of advanced features that very few

using another string delimiter probably get lost in the melee. The
advanced features could probably be wripped out and I doubt if anyone

Will the ports maintainers *please* make sure they release compilable
ports..especially for the big mothers like X/K
