Hi,

This breaks at least t/tests/rules-build-dep-pattern, so I have not
applied it.  I assume it is because one of the capture patterns now
include a "\n" (which it didn't before due to m// vs m//s ).

I suppose we could chomp the result (which should only eat the last
newline as I recall).

Finally, (double-check) comment lines can be extended in make, right[1]?
