I have some x software which i want to compile on a an hp 720 with
HP-UX 8.x on it. when i run imake on it though it mangles the resulting
Makefile output. I use the same imake and config files on a sun (by
swapping hp.cf with sun.cf) files and it works fine. I suspect that it
is cpp doing the mangling. all the text is there it is just formatted
incorrectly there are spaces at the start of lines when there should
not be and there are spaces at the start of lines that should start
with a tab.

this is an example of the mangling..

 all::
 line_1_of_stuff
 line_2_of_stuff

it should be...

all::
	line_1_of_stuff
	line_2_of_stuff

Does anybody know what the problem might be???
