Is this really worth the effort? For three years already, we have been
documenting in gnulib/DEPENDENCIES that GNU sed is a "recommended"
prerequisite for running gnulib-tool. Hence also a prerequisite for
running 'bootstrap'.
A developer who checks out some git repository and runs 'autogen.sh' or
'bootstrap' is expected to have all the necessary tools available:
m4, autoconf, automake, gettext, bison, gperf, texinfo - and sed.
It's part of the necessary working environment.
It would be pointless to try to make 'gnulib-tool' work without
autoconf. Or without automake. Or without bison. Then why make
special efforts to accommodate an inferior 'sed' program?
