Re: 2.2.4, gsed != sed

Hi,

This is maybe slightly off this topic, but there is another problem
with the check for sed.  I don't know about other non-GNU seds, but in
FreeBSD, "sed --version" simply hangs waiting for input, horribly
confusing the naïve user.  "echo | sed --version" works correctly for
both BSD and GNU sed, but this does not seem to fit in the
AC_CHECK_PROG_VER macro, as it now stands.

(Of course, the user could do "echo | configure".  :-)

Peace,
Toomas.
