bug#13028: inplace

[Reuben Thomas]

On Fri, 14 May 2004 15:53:04 +0600 (YEKST), Victor Porton offered his handy
"inplace" script to coreutils, which runs a filter on a file in-place. A
couple of replies said there was no need for this as one could do in-place
editing with perl or sed, but I think that was misguided, as the point of
inplace is that it works with any filter. I just used it with xml_grep:

inplace "xml_grep --exclude 'address@hidden"toc\"]' \"\$IN\" > \"\$OUT\""
"$book.xhtml"

I attach an updated version of inplace with some bashisms and typos fixed.
