Mmh, what's the point of using sed again? I mean, if BuildConfig is 
merely a collection of the platform/target/whatever specific variables, 
it can simply be generated as proposed. I actually don't any reason for 
a BuildConfig.in. Where you would write "@GCC_PATH@" which would be 
replaced by the configure script, you can just write "$(GCC_PATH)".

That's an easy one. :-)
Though it's certainly annoying, when working on the script.

No problem with that.

Who finds the missing ";". ;-)
