AFAICS this patch introduces nonportable sed scripts which cause tests
64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 74 to fail on FreeBSD 6.1 (for a different
reason than they may have failed before :-).

OK to apply?  There's no need to avoid '\{1,\}' for portability, right?

Furthermore, test 76 (Macro with backslash) gets an UNEXPECTED PASS on
several systems (HP-UX, IRIX, OpenBSD, Solaris).  Not analyzed yet.

Cheers,
Ralf
