2.6.1 Extension lines

The most straightforward solution is to continue the dependency list onto the next line. The next line must start with a space or tab character, which will signal to Mosmake's parser that the line counts as an extension of the unit definition already started.

Another way of saying this is that a newline followed by whitespace counts as no newline at all, except that it does end a `#' comment.

Thus, instead of

myprog: foobar foobaz foofum blarp gargle %PROGRAM
# NB! blarp is for the infix declaration of -*-

you can write

myprog: foobar foobaz foofum
   blarp # for infix decl of -*-
   gargle %PROGRAM

Note that Mosmake does not support the `\newline' continuation feature of make or the Unix shell.
