This "patch" does not make any sense to me.

Just fix your copy and move on.  This is a one off.  Most MAC users will use 
the github
plugin anyways.

Playing dumb-down to the lowest common denominator gets old sometimes.

Give Apple a phone call and have them fix their sed.

Nobody has the time to test the patch, and then go batshit when it breaks the 
linux install.
