(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.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
