Currently, when we tweak the .la files, we do so unconditionally on all
.la files, even those we already fixed in a previous run.

This has the nasty side effect that each .la file will be reported as
being touched by all packages that are installed after the package that
actually installed said .la file.

Since we can't easily know what files were installed by a package (that
is an instrumentation hook, and comes after the mangling), we use a
trick (like is done in libtool?): we do mangle all files, each into a
temporary location; if the result is identical to the input, we remove
the temporary, while if the result differs from the output, we move
the temporary to replace the input.

Changes v1 -> v2:
  - drop spurious trailing semicolon on sed command line  (Thomas DS.)
  - use $$(find ...) instead of $(find ...), as we don't want it to be
    evaluated by the Makefile, but by the shell
  - silence the output of cmp
  - typoes in commit log  (Thomas DS.)

Applied to master, thanks. Long term, it would be nicer if we could
leverage the list of files installed by the package, in order to only
tweak the files that really need to be tweaked. But that requires more
work in the common infrastructure.

Best regards,

Thomas
