This is just a warning you can (generally) safely ignore.  We
turn the warning off for releases, but it's left on in SVN.
Part of it might be due to the fact that you're using g-wrap 1.3.4
instead of g-wrap 1.9.

I don't know.  Here's what 'info sed' says about the 'm' modifier:

     The `M' modifier to regular-expression matching is a GNU `sed'
     extension which causes `^' and `$' to match respectively (in
     addition to the normal behavior) the empty string after a newline,
     and the empty string before a newline.  There are special character
     sequences (`\`' and `\'') which always match the beginning or the
     end of the buffer.  `M' stands for `multi-line'.

This should be okay..

There's a patch?  You didn't use the [patch] keyword in the subject.
