it looks to me like this is written for a program_transform_name
that's a concatenated list of -e options. the -e '' will keep
sed from complaining if program_transform_name is null.

I remember at some point in the past, sometimes
program_transform_name was a semicolon-separated list of sed
commands, sometimes it was a list of sed -e options. Don't know
if it's consistent now.
