+Sed is used in several places to generate files. Most scripts work with
+any version of @code{sed}. The known exception is the script
+@code{po2test.sed} in the @code{intl} subdirectory which is used to
+generate @code{msgs.h} for the testsuite. This script works correctly
+only with GNU @code{sed} 3.02. If you like to run the testsuite, you
+should definitly upgrade @code{sed}.
