In HP, there may NOT exist any comment marks or line continues
by slahes in rules or in commands ! This means the out-comments
and the long depency lines.

Reason is, the output of HP cpp has equally same amount of lines
as in input; the /* */ lines are replaced by empty LINES, which
have meaning in make.

As a fast (relative :) fix there can do; "make Makefiles" and
then look the Imakefile in breaked dir and nuke the out-comments
and join the continued depency lines together.

This modification should be include the next release.
