Building without perl

[David M. Williams]

I am working on the sed stuff right now.  It doesn't work on OS X as the 
patch was originally submitted but I'm relatively close to having it 
working.  OS X has a VERY old version of sed.

Thanks for the tip on testing your awk stuff.  That will be my next 
thing to test.
