Yes.  If you've ever used GNU Autoconf, you've seen that the
"configure" script that it produces creates a single sed command with
dozens of s/foo/bar expressions.  Do it like this:

	sed -e 's/foo1/bar1/' -e 's/foo2/bar2/g' ... infile > outfile

You can have as many "-e command" options as you want.
