Bug with makesetup on FreeBSD

[Andrew Csillag]

makesetup in Python 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 bombs on lines in the Setup file
that use backslash continuation to break a module spec across lines on
FreeBSD.

FreeBSD's /bin/sh is the culprit.  It's read function doesn't continue
reading a line if the last char is a backslash.  For example:
input being:
somemodule  somemodule.c \
       -lsomelib
doing a read line only gets the first line and makesetup barfs on line
154 with invalid word on \ (as opposed to bash (or other sh's) that get
"somemodule  somemodule.c -lsomelib" back from read).

This patch to this works with both FreeBSD's sh and bash.  What it does
is this:
While the last char of $line is a \, read another line and glue it to
the original minus the \.
