Users can copy-paste the first example as-is already, since the earlier line 
ends in backslash. (The second example can't be copy-pasted as-is because of the 
metavariable, though the backslash doesn't hurt.)

If we're talking about truly naive users, then these commands are too long 
anyway. Is there some way we can shorten the commands to make them less 
error-prone? Maybe use shell scripts and tell users to run 'build-aux/thing1' 
and 'build-aux/thing2', that sort of thing?

I'll hold off backporting until we get the important matter of backslashes 
resolved. :-)
