Comment(by evands):

 Actually, this worked for me once and then failed the next time; perhaps I
 just imagined it worked.  On OS X, based on the man pages, the line should
 be:
 {{{
 run_or_die ${SED} "-e s:'\^\$\$lang\$\$':\^\$\$lang\$\$:g" "-i \"\""
 "`dirname "$0"`"/po/Makefile.in.in
 }}}

 I used =e to specify the command (as the man page doesn't note allowance
 of other options if the command is implicit) and specified a zero-length
 extension for -i, as this is not an optional parameter for -i per the man
 page.

 Would that work on other systems?
