[ cvs-all -> ports ]

Sick examples c/o nbm:

from biology/emboss (replacing four patches):

DOC_DIRS= doc/manuals doc/tutorials doc/programs/text doc/programs/html
post-patch:
.for DIR in ${DOC_DIRS}
        @perl -pi.orig -e \
                "s#share/\\$$\(PACKAGE\)/doc#share/doc/\\$$\(PACKAGE\)#" \
                ${WRKSRC}/${DIR}/Makefile.in
.endfor

from courier-imap (common foo.conf to foo.conf.dist thing):

        @perl -i -pe 's@(\$$.sysconfdir./\$$\$$p)@\1.dist@' \
                ${WRKSRC}/imap/Makefile.in

Can anyone suggest how to achieve this with a sed one-liner?  (I use
perl because it does in-place replacement very easily)
