net-analyzer/netcat/netcat-110-r1.ebuild

By adding it as a dependency, these ebuild are already using 'supersed'
(/bin/ssed) due to his useful features such as the "edit files in place" 
facility. What about adding "sys-apps/supersed" in the *base* system ?
NOTE: It's not meant to be a "sed" replacement.

Ok, I played a bit with the GNU/sed 4.00.
I think there's no longer need of supersed since the new sed has
the "edit in place" facility and supports Extended Expressions.

Version 4.00 (stable)
released on 2002-10-23 Licensed under GPL terms.

  The lovely people at gnu.org have blessed us with 4.0, so far I like
  it.
