But we check in configure already for gsed and sed - either we
propagate this or we check only for sed.

configure.in has:

AC_CHECK_PROG_VER(SED, gsed sed, --version,
  [GNU sed version \([0-9]*\.[0-9.]*\)],
  [3.0[2-9]*|3.[1-9]*|[4-9]*],
  SED=: aux_missing="$aux_missing sed")

and gsed and SED are not used anywhere...
