Follow-up Comment #12, bug #16505 (project make):
I understand the workarounds. (Make variables are probably the way to go,
because double-quoting script languages tends to be cumbersome.) My makefiles
won't be that much of a problem, anyway, compared to those of others---I first
encountered this new "feature" in running a makefile from XScreenSaver.
Doubtful that'll be the only instance.
I kept mentioning the unexpected-EOF errors just to emphasize how brain-dead
the POSIX behavior is, because those are what you get if you (reasonably)
think that POSIX treats single-quoted EOL backslashes as literal characters
(such that all you need to do so that they don't appear in your inline
scripts is, well, delete them).
