Yea, and similarly I can use `sed` just fine on Linux.  I was 
just curious if there was a 'standard' way to do this that didn't 
involve search'n'replace.

Erm ... I've just done a completely fresh build of LDC v1.0.0 
(freshly checked out from git), and there's no sign of an 
ldc-profdata binary.  Nor does make seem to know anything about 
and ldc-profdata target.

What am I missing? :-\
