Sorry, I didn't have access to an old make at the time I wrote this.  I guess 
the old make preserves leading tabs on continuations, so this would instead 
have to be:

all:
	echo 'foo'\
'bar'

Hopefully this will work on both versions, but again I don't have easy access 
to an old make to test it.  There's also the suggestion elsewhere in the 
thread to put the script in a make variable instead.
