sh -> pl

Folks,

I've noticed that a big hunk of our build system has gratuitous
dependencies on some variety of shell and on tools like sed, none of
which makes Windows developers feel welcome. I know people are
working toward a cmake or other more cross-platform toolchain.

My proposal is a lot more modest, and doesn't conflict with the larger
one. I'd like to move the above stuff to self-contained perl would
help to make things more cross-platform and clean up, no offense to
the fine authors, some pretty crufty code in there.

Comments? Objections?

Cheers,
David.
