20 Interesting. I could've sworn the OSX sed didn't have the "-i" option,
21 and it isn't in the manpage, but I just tried it and low and behold it
22 exists now. Even so, it makes me nervous to depend on Apple not to
23 change the available sed options in order to keep a working portage.
24 gsed really isn't all that much trouble, and you can unmerge it if you
25 decide that the portage experiment didn't work out for you.
