Ah...  I saw them, but didn't see very good examples until I looked  
more closely at some of the other (lisp, leim) makefile.w32-in files.   
So it looks like I should write the rules something like this?

	echo $(ARGQUOTE)#define BUILDOBJ $(DQUOTE)\$(ARGQUOTE)  > $(SRC)/ 
buildobj.h
	echo $(OBJ0)     $(ARGQUOTE)\$(ARGQUOTE) >> $(SRC)/buildobj.h

Is one backslash what I need here, if I want to get one written to the  
file at the end of the line?  Or does some backslash quote processing  
happen, and I need two?

Thanks!
