Subject: PATCH [2/3]: Remove perl from make headers_install.

From: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>

Remove perl from make headers_install by replacing a perl script (doing
a simple regex search and replace) with a smaller and faster shell script
implementation.  The new shell script is a single for loop calling sed and
piping its output through unifdef to produce the target file.

Changes from previous version: Added help text and a check for the right
number of arguments.  Removed unused ARCH input from script and makefile
(the makefile incorporates ARCH into INDIR, so the script doesn't care),
fixed a whitespace mistake in the makefile pointed out by Sam Ravnborg,
changed the shebang to #!/bin/sh and tested under bash and dash.
