Given that there is only one source and the whole point of this make rule is 
to rebuild fishcode.h from fish.pl [in a manner that was totally Linux 
dependent and is now Linux-or-FreeBSD-dependent] it'd even be reasonable to 
hard-code fish.pl as the filename passed to sed (ie. replace all instances of 
$< and $> in that rule with fish.pl). 

Why is the checksum computed at compile-time anyway?
