Given a simple Makefile

	kittykat% cat > Makefile
	fee:	foo
	<TAB>
	foo:	fub
	kittykat%  make
	"Makefile", line 2: Need an operator
	Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

Ultrix make is happy to ignore the embedded <TAB> instance.

Its pretty common on 3rd party code to find this kind of kruft, you
only have to loose one or two variables, or yank/put a couple of lines
and get some free LWSP along too...
