When you use USE_RC_SUBR= scriptname, you no longer need to reference the 
script in your Makefile anywhere else *except SUB_LIST if you use special 
variables.  RC_SUBR will do all the substitution as well as install the 
script in the correct location and uninstall it as well.

So you don't need to doing any sed magic with the script, reference it in 
post-install or in plist or doing anything else with it.
