you cleaned up 'replace ugly and unportable sed invocation' as you said.
Please note, that some SEDs (like HP-UX one) mandate a space between 'r' 
and 'rfile'.

Ack. Note that this is yet-another-reason to step away from scripts.

Are you talking about doing this part in the Makefile in C ;-)?

If it is not portable, then yes ;-)

But of course, you know the spirit this was written in: I had no way to 
test with sed on HP-UX, so I do not know if my change works there. 
However, I know that if it is C -- except for bugs in HP-UX's C compiler 
-- then it works on HP-UX as expected.
