been there once, used sed, did the job for me. about the only thing it lacks
when compared to usual interactive editors is edit-in-place. work around that
like:
cp php.ini php.ini.broken
sed '(stuff)' < php.ini.broken > php.ini

or use the standard text editor: ed ;-)

a more plan-9-ish way would be to export relevant namespace subtree and work
from a different machine, i guess... but i have no idea how to :D
