Just curious: why do you say make requires this? In UNIX, at any rate,
no backslash munging is done on commands. In fact the only characters
that are special to make in a command is "$" (which you escape with
"$$") and a backslash before a newline (and that only to continue the
line).
Does the Windows port do more than that?
