Suppose there were a port, call it ports/misc/46upgrade, which installed
jmallett's sed, either as "jsed" or as just plain "sed" (in the latter
case, it would /usr/bin/sed aside on installation, and back in place on
deinstallation). Suppose the jsed port bumped /var/db/port.mkversion and
bsd.port.mk checked for this ("your system is too old to use this
bsd.port.mk") Then the macro for patching in situ could always use
jmallett's sed, never perl. It would behave consistently across different
versions of FreeBSD, so it would be easier to test and debug.
