Assigned to: None => psmith

Follow-up Comment #3:
I modified the .POSIX pseudo target behavior so that if it's set, then we get
POSIX-style backslash/newline handling. The default, though, remains the GNU
make method.
If you want to portably get the POSIX behavior without specifying .POSIX, you
can do this:
# empty variable
E =
FOO = a $E
$E
b
That is, add empty variable references so that the parser doesn't think that
the backslash/newlines are really consecutive, and that the whitespace is not
trailing.
