[PATCH] Another BSD make incompatibility

[Derek R. Price]

Found another bug in automake's support for dependencies using BSD's make.  This
one is based on the fact that BSD make doesn't allow comments to continue on the
next line using '\'.  I just hooked into the existing conditional machinery
instead of stuffing "address@hidden@" as the first item in the DEP_FILES list, 
as used
to happen.

There're new RPMs at:

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
