Thanks! That is just what I wanted...

Now - how do I put this into a Makefile?

I found out how to put the command on one line:

sed '/%$/{ N; s/%\n//; }' report.bbl >new

which works from zsh, but not make:

sed '/%{ N; s/%\n//; }' report.bbl > report.bbl.new
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: Unknown command: ``%''
make: *** [report.dvi.stamp] Error 1

Oh, I see the problem - the $/ bit has been removed (by make). How do I
get this to work?  No - \$/ just becomes \
