We depends on gsed for things which, imho, could be done using posix sed.
Mainly the position of -i param, or the douple -e (which could be merged into
a single expression).
Probably both osx sed and bsd sed could be used without a bit of a trouble for
portage purposes, with some tweaks here and there.
Interesting. I could've sworn the OSX sed didn't have the "-i" option, and it isn't in the manpage, but I just tried it and low and behold it exists now. Even so, it makes me nervous to depend on Apple not to change the available sed options in order to keep a working portage. gsed really isn't all that much trouble, and you can unmerge it if you decide that the portage experiment didn't work out for you.
