One thing I've forgotten to mention is that with this change the help
code no longer requires 'sed' to function. I remember that the 'sed'
binary gave Windows users some problems as it triggered some virus
warnings. Anyway, this binary no longer needs to be distributed as part
of the Windows build (assuming it was only used by the help system).
