After upgrading from CW's 5.6.0, I'm having trouble with automake (or
autoconf, not entirely sure at this point).  It doesn't seem to be
recognizing line continuations anymore.

E.g., in my makefile.am I have this:

...
DEFS
= -DUSE_LINKER_HEAP -DNO_FLOATS -D__8_BIT_ASCII_WANTED -DCOMPILE_ISALPHA -DC
OMPILE_ISUPPER \
	-DCOMPILE_ISLOWER -DCOMPILE_ISDIGIT -DCOMPILE_ISSPACE -DCOMPILE_ISPUNCT -DC
OMPILE_ISALNUM \
	-DCOMPILE_ISPRINT -DCOMPILE_ISGRAPH -DCOMPILE_ISCNTRL -DCOMPILE_ISXDIGIT
...

But in the generated makefile, all I get is this:
...
DEFS
= -DUSE_LINKER_HEAP -DNO_FLOATS -D__8_BIT_ASCII_WANTED -DCOMPILE_ISALPHA -DC
OMPILE_ISUPPER \
subdir = DXPCRT  <<==== Clearly not right, '\' was ignored
mkinstalldirs = $(SHELL) $(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs
...
(much further down, all by it's lonesome:)

	-DCOMPILE_ISLOWER -DCOMPILE_ISDIGIT -DCOMPILE_ISSPACE -DCOMPILE_ISPUNCT -DC
OMPILE_ISALNUM \
	-DCOMPILE_ISPRINT -DCOMPILE_ISGRAPH -DCOMPILE_ISCNTRL -DCOMPILE_ISXDIGIT

(now how in the heck is it getting *there*?)

Five'll get you ten it's yet another CR/LF vs. LF vs. CR issue.  It blows my
mind that someone doesn't use LF/CR too, just to make the madness complete.
