I have kit28 perl source from jpl-devvax. When I try and run make depend it
fails with an error which turns out to be due to a construct in makedepend of
the form

    for file in `cat .shlist`; do
	$echo `$expr X$file : 'X\(.*\).SH`: $file config.sh \; \
    done

When I remove the last \ it works ok but the perl binary produced
isn't able to run shell commands (ie `command` doesn't work).

I'm doing this on a vax running Ultrix 3.0.

Any suggestions as to what is going wrong.
