Red Hat Linux 7.3
>Description:
Automake 1.6.1 seems to have a problem parsing comments that use '\' to span multiple lines.
>How-To-Repeat:
I encountered this bug when using automake with a file that contained a commented-out section of the form

  # SOME_FILES = \
          file1 \
          file2 \
          file3

In the generated Makefile.in, only the first line was omitted:

          file1 \
          file2 \
          file3

... giving a syntax error when running 'make', of course.
