+Because a working sed is a prerequisite for running the ``configure''
+script, I have provided the script ``bootstrap.sh'' which will attempt
+to build a version of sed adequate for running ``configure''. If it
+fails, edit the ``config.h'' file that was created according to the
+comments found therein, and then try running ``bootstrap.sh'' again.
+
+The bootstrap build is quite likely to babble on and on with
+various compiler warnings. You may want to tell bootstrap.sh
+how to invoke your compiler with warnings disabled. For example,
+with a Bourne-like shell and gcc one could use:
+ $ CC='gcc -w' sh bootstrap.sh
+or with a csh-like shell, one could try:
+ % env CC='gcc -w' sh bootstrap.sh
+
+Once you get a working version of sed, temporarily install sed/sed
+somewhere in your $PATH, and then really re-build the normal way
+(starting with ``sh configure''); the bootstrap version is almost
+certainly more crippled than it needs to be on your machine.
+
+I don't much care to hear about any bugs in ``bootstrap'' versions
+of sed beyond those which actually keep the ``bootstrap'' version from
+building, or sed's configure script from running properly. I am
+especially uninterested in compiler warnings from the bootstrap build.
