Well, it always was ;-)  But I hoped you will have some guidance.

Exactly.

Sed has the 'i' command, you know ;-)

Like I said: there are several ways to go about this, but I'd prefer
one that is the cleanest, as being part of a cleanup provides more
motivation than being part of just rearranging the dirt ;-)

If you want me, I can remove everything.  But then I don't want to see
NS-specific SYSTEM_PURESIZE_EXTRA, or any similar things, anywhere
near conf_post.h, either.  Because "quod licet Iovi non licet bovi" is
a game I prefer not to play, if I can avoid it.  (But I will if you
ask.)
