I just got bit by a difference between sed under DOS5/djgpp and under
Solaris (and using bash on both).  Under djgpp, sed accepts \t and \n
in a replacement string, but not so under Solaris.

djgpp: GNU sed 3.02.80
Solaris: GNU sed 3.02

(I thought my Solaris sed might be old, but I can't find
anything newer than 3.02 on GNU mirrors.  Strange....)
