If you want to do that, don't let me stop you, but you need to check all the 
uses of sed in Swarm and then test them exhaustively.

The code I committed will work as long as you have GNU sed installed in the 
PATH as seen at configure time.

IMHO it would be better to spend a bit of time zapping those nested functions.  
That is much easier and more useful.
