configure already tests for sed and identifies the gnu version if it can find 
it. All we should need to do is use ${SED} instead of 'sed' when we need the 
GNU version.

I'm testing with
AC_SUBST(SED)
and using ${SED} in the doc/Makefile.am.

It might be an idea to use ${SED} wherever possible in new code - not just in 
the case of a known error.
