No it doestn't. Autoconf has an AC_PROG_SED macro which checks for a POSIX sed. http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Limitations-of-Usual-Tools.html#sed Portable sed regular expressions should use ‘\’ only to escape characters in the string ‘$()*.0123456789[\^n{}’ If I understand that right, POSIX doestn't mandate \t so it wouldn't help us. > Where would I go to view Felix's path?
