Oops. I didn't see that you had a patch in there. I'll apply it!

But for the record: this does not fix anything for sed, it simply makes
the sed command line work with the windows' shell as it (the shell) clearly
can't cope with single quotes.

Thanks!

Indeed I didn't notice that the .vc8 files were already there and do not
need to be generated. That being said, I still think the patch is a valid
one. It makes the expressions more consistent and allows it to work on more
versions of sed.

This was using the GnuWin32 4.1.5 version.

'make vc8' is used to generate the VC8-compatible makefiles on systems
that have sed.

If you want to build (lib)curl with nmake with vc8, you should use the
pre-generated vc8 makefiles and do something like:

"nmake VC=vc8 vc"

(or use one of the many other existing vc-related targets)
