There is no good way to do this, I'm sorry to say. Unfortunately when
GNU make was designed issues of escaping special characters were not
widely considered, leading to inconsistencies. I don't know of any way,
offhand, to escape a ":" in the prerequisites list.
Even more unfortunately, every time I've suggested a syntax change such
as allowing escaping of special chars in the prerequisites list with
"\", I hear from people who have makefiles that would break.
