(makefile-dependency-regex): Turn it into a var, and refine it to mask one more level of nested vars. (makefile-rule-action-regex): Turn it into a var, and refine it so it recognizes backslashed continuation lines as belonging to the same command. (makefile-macroassign-regex): Refine it so it recognizes backslashed continuation lines as belonging to the same command. (makefile-var-use-regex): Don't look at the next char, because it might be the same one to be skipped by the initial [^$], leading to an overlooked variable use. (makefile-make-font-lock-keywords): Remove two parameters, which are now variables that some of the modes set locally. Handle dependency and rule action matching through functions, because regexps alone match too often. Dependency matching now comes last, so it can check, whether a colon already matched something else. (makefile-mode): Inform that font-lock improves makefile parsing capabilities. (makefile-match-dependency, makefile-match-action): New functions.

GNU Emacs 19.x and above do not compile out of the box on OpenVMS.
Richard Levitte <[e-mail]> is distributing and maintaining a
version of Emacs (currently based on version 19.28, but soon moving to
19.34 and then 20.1) that compiles and works on OpenVMS 5.5 and above
on both VAX and Alpha architectures.  For more information see

  http://vms.gnu.org/software/released1/emacs.html#get_emacs_1928_kit


[Update 2003-11-24: I am working on integrating VMS-specific bits
 back into the repository.  There are some work-in-progress files
 in this directory as a result.  Do not be alarmed!  --ttn]
