FreeBSD sed gets installed, but it is crippled (doesn't recognize

GNU sed is preferred

An old version of flex gets installed.
Please note that flex is now on sourceforge (previously on gnu ftp

- help2man
Unfortunately, this tool is not installed with Xcode or OS X/Darwin
(it can be configured with --enable-nls=no to prevent build problems)

- configure problems
There is a bug in Mac OS X that causes problems when configuring many
software packages (see
e.g.<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2004-08/
msg00039.html>). As a result of this bug, the coreutils command "uname
-p" reports "unknown".  This confuses config.guess.
