Sounds good to me. I will try to find a spot during bootstrap and just 
run Sed. Less complexity is better.

My initial patch was based on wrong assumption that this is needed every 
time Emacs is build from scratch through either a fresh check out or a 
maintainer clean. As Juanma pointed out this is not the case. The use 
case for this is rather specific (maintainer-clean only or if the 
getopt.in.h ever changed) as far as I can tell.
