I have only removed the trailing "\" from the last line of PATCH_FILES.
It worked because the next line was empty but I preferred to do not
concatenate it ;-)

actually i have over time come to prefer to add a trailing \ to the last
line in such cases, and an empty line afterwards, because then appending
a new line does not require changing the previous line to add a trailing
\ which looks like spurious noise in diffs.

for much the same reason i prefer to write C++ constructors like this:

Foo::Foo()
    : Base()
    , m_foo()
{
}
