Module for parsing Makefile syntax.

Makefiles use a line-based parsing system. Continuations and substitutions are handled differently based on the
type of line being parsed:

Lines with makefile syntax condense continuations to a single space, no matter the actual trailing whitespace
of the first line or the leading whitespace of the continuation. In other situations, trailing whitespace is
relevant.

Lines with command syntax do not condense continuations: the backslash and newline are part of the command.
(GNU Make is buggy in this regard, at least on mac).

Lines with an initial tab are commands if they can be (there is a rule or a command immediately preceding).
Otherwise, they are parsed as makefile syntax.

This file parses into the data structures defined in the parserdata module. Those classes are what actually
do the dirty work of "executing" the parsed data into a data.Makefile.

Four iterator functions are available:
* iterdata
* itermakefilechars
* itercommandchars

The iterators handle line continuations and comments in different ways, but share a common calling
convention:

Called with (data, startoffset, tokenlist, finditer)

yield 4-tuples (flatstr, token, tokenoffset, afteroffset)
flatstr is data, guaranteed to have no tokens (may be '')
token, tokenoffset, afteroffset *may be None*. That means there is more text
coming.
