I assume you mean mingw sed. :-)

I think that mingw's sed is working fine since libtool's bootstrap 
works and libtool's configure script otherwise seems to work fine with 
the MS-DOS line terminations.  Configure runs if config/mkstamp uses 
MS-DOS line terminations, but ChangeLog uses Unix line terminations.

I'll do more testing this evening.  Windows is just a target 
environment for me so I try to limit my exposure to it. :-)
