Subject: Makefile.in: Replace old sed cmds with basename.

The result is the same, and basename is a bit faster than sed is.

A quick and dirty benchmark:

	printf 'printf and sed:\n'
	i=0
	while [ ${i} -lt 3 ]; do
		time -p sh >/dev/null <<-EOF
			i=0
			while [ \${i} -lt 1000 ]; do
				printf '%s' 'foo/bar' | sed 's|^.*/||'
				i=\$((\$i + 1))
			done
			EOF
		i=$(($i + 1))
	done

	printf '\nbasename:\n'
	i=0
	while [ ${i} -lt 3 ]; do
		time -p sh >/dev/null <<-EOF
			i=0
			while [ \${i} -lt 1000 ]; do
				basename 'foo/bar'
				i=\$((\$i + 1))
			done
			EOF
		i=$(($i + 1))
	done

And the unsurprising results:

	printf and sed:
	real 1.17
	user 0.02
	sys 0.17
	real 1.18
	user 0.01
	sys 0.18
	real 1.17
	user 0.02
	sys 0.16

	basename:
	real 0.74
	user 0.02
	sys 0.08
	real 0.74
	user 0.02
	sys 0.08
	real 0.72
	user 0.04
	sys 0.06

basename is about 37% – 38% faster.
