Ryan Moeller 4313a5b4c5 Detect if sed supports --in-place
Not all versions of sed have the --in-place flag. Detect support for
the flag during ./configure and provide a fallback mechanism for those
systems where sed's behavior differs. The autoconf variable
${ac_inplace} can be used to choose the correct flags for editing a
file in place with sed.

Replace violating usages in Makefile.am with ${ac_inplace}.
