>Environment:

        Stock 3.2-RELEASE.  Python 1.5.2 (built from ports).

>Description:

        See the PR:

           bin/13274: /bin/sh 'read' command does not work correctly

        for details, but basically FreeBSD /bin/sh 'read' does not honor
        continuation lines like other UNIXes do by default.  One has to
        specify a FreeBSD-specific switch to get it to behavior in the
        standard way.

        The effect for the Python port/package is that Python's makesetup
        fails when fed a standard Setup file (e.g. PyOpenGL) because it
        doesn't honor the continuation lines by default.  One could hack
        Setup files each time, but the better hack (until FreeBSD's /bin/sh
        read command is brought in line) is to patch the Python makesetup
        script when the package is built to invoke read with the
        FreeBSD-specific handle-continuation-lines option (see below).

>How-To-Repeat:

        Grab PyOpenGL, untar, cd src, cp Setup.CONFIGURE Setup.proto,
        python BUILD.py, and you will see this breakage:

            /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/makesetup  -m Makefile.pre -c /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/config.c.in Setup -n  /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/Setup.thread /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/Setup.local /usr/local/lib/python1.5/config/Setup
            bad word \ in _glut     \
            *** Error code 1

            Stop.
            *** Error code 1

            Stop.

        Under the hood, what's going on is this:

               $ read line
               some text here \
               $ more text
               text: No such file or directory
               $ echo $line
               some text here \
            
            # NOTE: On other unices you get this:

               > sh
               $ read line
               some text here \
               more text
               $ echo $line
               some text here more text

>Fix:

      Please insert this patch into the patches subdirectory of the Python
      port.  Thanks.
