Summary: Line-continuation backslashes are not stripped

Details:
Scenario: A makefile command (i.e. a shell command executed for some target)
that makes use of a quoted string spanning multiple lines via continuation
backslashes. E.g. an in-place awk or perl program.
Problem: make 3.81 and CVS do not strip the backslashes before passing the
string to the shell. This is a regression from make 3.80.
The attached makefile clearly illustrates the bug, and the havoc that it can
play on a perl program.
