I thought that having the new faces attributeless by default, and 
handling extensions (i.e. gmake, ...) even when the filename doesn't 
indicate it, would be enough to keep everybody happy...

I really don't see how you can undo parts of the changes, the more you 
undo (and taking continuation lines out already started this) the 
wronger target matching will get again. Nobody complained about lacking 
correctness before. They only care about looks (which used to be also 
partly wrong). But since font-lock as a parser is at the core of my 
change, you might as well throw it all out again and I'll keep my 
version to myself :-(

If you change your mind, be quick, because I had planned to invest this 
evening, and that is already lost now.
