Instructions for building Gnu Sed as a native windows application

All patches under the same license as sources of Gnu Sed: GPLv3 or later

Author of the patches: Michael M. Builov (mbuilov@gmail.com)

Fixed bugs:

wrong directory of input file in in-place editing mode ('-i' switch) (sed: cannot rename ./sed8JEw8l: Improper link)
new switch '-C' or '--ignore-locale' - forces Sed to use the standard "C" locale instead of the system one; this switch is most usable in binary mode, to avoid possible interpretation of input data as multi-byte encoded strings (depending on the system locale)
sources were fixed for correct processing of text files with Windows line endings if sed is built under CYGWIN
