Follow-up Comment #11, bug #16505 (project make):
I can understand everything you are saying -- the backward incompatibility,
the suggestion to add an explicit warning, the works. The only thing I do
NOT understand is why do you insist on telling about the EOF error etc., when
you have at least two ways of working around the problem: either use double
quotes instead of single quotes, or put the entire multi-line script into a
Make variable (in which case you can keep the single quotes)? It should not
be too hard to modify your Makefile to work with the new release of Make,
without breaking the old releases as well.
