I guess we could. The price would be that the configure script would be bigger. It's not just _AC_OUTPUT_CONFIG_STATUS which uses ``sed'', there are more macros. Have you encountered any problem on a particular platform? Perhaps we should solve actual problems, not replace all occurences of ``sed''.
