A more sophisticated scheme akin to m4 diversions would be possible in
principle, but it would make organising the output files (which must
be processed by autoconf) really awkward - let alone the depenency
management for regenerating the makefiles.

So instead, simply provide a Prefix too.  Additionally, soon we are
going to introduce a Final.sd.mk which is processed right at the end.

I think this new scheme will be sufficient in principle to do anything
that might be needed.  Sadly it will continue to require that
&:include's are done in the right order.

make has a weird rule for line joining in recipes, where the \ is
retained.  This is very annoying espcially when writing little scripts
in other languages in recipes.  The GNU make documentation suggests
using a `define' block, in which the \ are still necessary, but
vanish.  But that separates out the recipe from the rule, and also
demands that the recipe text be given a name.

(Note that .ONESHELL offers an alternative but sadly is not available
on a per-rule basis.  This is even less sensible with non-recursive
make, where you might want different directories to have different
settings.)

So, provide &\ which does the other thing, swallowing the newline and
discarding the &\, even in rules.
