[PD-dev] what does plutil -replace do? (build failing on my machine)

[Miller Puckette]

Aha... I found some newer info, and apparently there's no way to get
the old plutul to do the new stuff.  I think it's out of proportion
to send you off to do an hour's sed hacking - I can probably just
figure out what should be happening, comment out the calls in the
script, and edit the plist by hand for now :)
