Default make install calls 'sed -i', even on BSD machines.

[Why Fullname]

After following README's configure, make install instructions on a NetBSD machine, running byobu brings up

sed: unknown option -- i

This is because BSD's sed is different from the GNU sed byobu was probably expecting.

The quick way around this problem on many BSD machines is to call 'gsed -i' which is what BSD calls the GNU version of sed. Is there a way to make the configure script notice if you have 'gsed' and use that instead?

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

Thanks for the report. I'll get this fixed.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

Okay, I fixed up the sed calls that use -i. Not a complete solution, but should help with most of these.

[Dustin Kirkland  (kirkland)]

Will be in 3.7.
