Nice work. Thanks a lot for reviewing my work and following through on this.

I applied it and ran "make check" which showed this:

LC_ALL=C  ./sed/sed --quiet -f ./testsuite/cv-vars.sed \
        < ./testsuite/cv-vars.inp | LC_ALL=C ./sed/sed 's/\r//g' > quiet.out
/bin/sh: ./testsuite/cv-vars.inp: No such file or directory
cmp ./testsuite/cv-vars.good quiet.out
cmp: ./testsuite/cv-vars.good: No such file or directory

No big deal. Just means that the "quiet" test also uses the
now-removed cv-vars files.

Thanks also for fixing my bugs. In your "maint: fix wrong PATH in
testsuite", the log has a typo: s/independantly/independently/
