 I am using MSYS (rather than Cygwin) to build Pidgin on Windows.  To do
 so, I had to make one change to the build files.  The version of sed that
 ships with MSYS 1.0.10 does not support the -i option for modifying files
 in place.  This was causing the generation of libpurple/version.h to fail.
 I modified libpurple/win32/targets.mak to redirect the sed output to a
 temporary file, followed by a mv to rename the temporary file to the
 target file instead of modifying the target file in place.
