Actually, after cluebat from Quilt maintainers this diff should be ignored
and my original diff preferred.

When you configure quilt with --with-foo=/path/to/gnu/gfoo Quilt actually
creates a compat/ directory and copies gfoo to compat/foo.  Then the quilt
wrapper (bin/quilt.in) adds compat/ to the front of PATH.

So long story short, those uses of sed 's/.../i' are actually portable
because sed is really gsed at run-time.  Slightly misleading, but portable. :)
