This is a smaller, cheaper, faster SED implementation. Minix uses it. GNU
used to use it, until they built their own sed around an extended (some
would say over-extended) regexp package.
For embedded use we searched for a tiny sed implementation especially for
use with the dietlibc and found Eric S. Raymond's sed implementation quite
handy. Though it suffered several bugs and was not under active maintenance
anymore. After sending a bunch of fixes we agreed to continue maintaining
this lovely, historic sed implementation.
Along with a lot fixes and cleanups, further speedups, and some missing
features and POSIX conformance, we also added a test-suite to the package,
so regressions are quickly and easily uncovered.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
