The size of the script does not worry me.  The number of sed
processes originally did, but the old code also had two
invocations of sed, and I do not think you can implement the
"strip the header, and then emit ${LINES} lines" behaviour
without doing them in separate sed anyway, so I think this is
fine.  But it makes me wonder why we are not using awk ;-)
