Re: handle #! /usr/bin/env

[matthew sporleder <msporleder%gmail.com@localhost>]

The first pass will transform
#! /usr/bin/env perl
to
#! perl

and then the second pass will behave as normal to produce
#!@PREFIX@/bin/perl  (or /usr/pkg/bin/perl, I just copied PREFIX from you)

I just successfully used it for a python package, at least.
