| No sorry, the output looks like Mac's sed is still usable:
| 
|    <SNIP>
|    checking for times... yes
|    checking for gawk... gawk
|    checking for a usable sed... /usr/bin/sed
|    checking for perl... perl
|    checking for python... python
|    <SNIP>

Oops, the line

  if test "`echo 'this and that' | sed -n 's/\(this\|that\).*$/\1/p'`" != 
"this"; then

should be

  if test "`echo 'this and that' | ${_sed} -n 's/\(this\|that\).*$/\1/p'`" != 
"this"; then

jwe
