inreplace is used in many places where simply passing the parameters to `make` would suffice, i.e.

```ruby
system "make", "CC=#{ENV.cc}",
"CFLAGS=#{ENV.cflags}",
"install"
```

Obviously there are cases where it doesn't work, but for well-written Makefiles it should. We should convert these as we encounter them in day-to-day formula updates.
