That means something like

cat > instances/Makefile: << EOF
GENERATED	= piuparts.conf.piu-slave-bm-a

all: $(GENERATED)

clean:
	$(RM) $(GENERATED)

piuparts.conf.piu-slave-bm-%: piuparts.conf.pejacevic
	sed -r /^mirror/s/http:/nfs:/ $< > $@
EOF


For long-term goals we should put the "configuration" into the
master-slave protocol ... slave could still have its own mirror setting,
but the remaining could come from master

so we have these settings truly in one place
