svn(1) diff of mail/thunderbird

Hi,

thunderbird's config script uses GNU extensions, namely: \S. This has gone
unnoticed on FreeBSD because it generally works- \S is interpreted as an es=
cape
of an ordinary character, resulting in 'S'. Escapes of ordinary characters =
will
be disallowed in future versions of regex(3), thus move to textproc/gsed to=
 do
the right thing with this GNU extension.

Thanks,

Kyle Evans
