I also modded the makefile target for bash completion: Since we cannot use the environment variables pointing out the target directory (I still don't get why, it is supposed to work), we copy to any (all) *present* bash_completion.d directories in /etc, /usr/local/etc and /opt/local/etc. Unfortunately this also meant we will copy it regardless of if it's updated or not. Not a big deal.

Just a guess, because I can't even reproduce the problem:
Please try s/-e 'p }'/ -e 'p' -e '}'/
Under Linux, this still works. Hopefully it also works under OS X.
