makedepend.SH: Deal with continuation lines

makedepend was failing to take into account the fact that preprocessor
directives, like any line, may be continued onto succeeding lines by a
trailing backslash.  This led to errors in the C preprocessing, which were
suppressed on all but os390 systems.o

This commit alleviates that, but it is not a complete solution.  It
deletes C comments, but this being sed, it doesn't catch all nuances of
C comments.  We only care, however, about comments on preprocessor
directive lines, and this is good enough to work on the current Perl
without generating any errors, on my system.

+    # We have to take care of situations like
+    #       #if defined(FOO) BAR   /* comment line 1
+    #                                 more comment lines */

+    #          && defined(BAR) /* comment */ \
+    #          && defined(BAZ) /* comment */ \
+    #               etc.
+    # This code processes these latter situations first; it assumes there is
+    # at most one straightforward comment per continued preprocessor line.  (It
+    # would be easier to handle more general cases if sed had a non-greedy '*'
+    # quantifier; but typically preprocessor directive lines are rather
+    # simple.)  The continuation line is joined, and the process repeated on
+    # the enlarged line as long as there are continuations.  At the end, if
+    # there are any comments remaining, they should be like the first situation,
+    # and can just be deleted.  (Subsequent lines of the comment are irrelevant
+    # and get dropped.)
