I've run a varation of this on MacOS's sed before and it works.
Unfortunately, I don't have access to a MacOS machine anymore so I can't
100% confirm it.

This was the main reason why I sent it out as an RFC (although I forgot
to mention it in the commit message, whoops). Perhaps we could write
this as

	externcheck: $(filter-out $(THIRD_PARTY_SOURCES),$(filter %.c %.h,$(shell $(FIND_SOURCE_FILES))))
		sed -i.bak 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/' $^
		$(RM) $(addsuffix .bak,$^)

instead? I think that since this is a developer target, we can probably
call this portable enough.

Thanks,
Denton
