The first time dvips sees a "new" font, it generates some file it
needs and saves the generated file for subsequent runs. This
memoization did not work because the program mktexupd was failing to
record that the generated file exists.
The patch below fixes mktexupd and significantly speeds up dvips.
(The old code either confused APE's sh or was broken. Sed saw the
filename '"/sys/lib/texmf/ls-R"' rather than '/sys/lib/texmf/ls-R'.)
