make 3.78.1 and 3.79.1 (under Linux 2.2.17 and Solaris 2.5.1) don't handle
colons in filenames well:
-----------Makefile
bbb\:ext:
touch bbb:ext
aaa: bbb\:ext
-----------
$ make
touch bbb:ext
$ make
make: `bbb:ext' is up to date.
$ make aaa
make: *** No rule to make target `bbb\:ext', needed by `aaa'. Stop.
$ vi Makefile
-----------Makefile
bbb\:ext:
touch bbb:ext
aaa: bbb:ext
-----------
$ make
Makefile:4: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.
