portindex fails if configure.args-append has space after \

[snc@…]

If a portfile has configure.args-append take more than one line, portindex will fail if a space is found after the \ character.

Example:

configure.args-append   --disable-macosx-defaults \ 
    --enable-release --enable-macosx --enable-macosx-audio --enable-a52 --enable-cddax \
    …

fails with Failed to parse file multimedia/vlc/Portfile: invalid command name "--enable-release"

Removing the space after the escape character will then let it proceed, however this error does not allow indexing of the port – you can therefore not run port lint which would catch whitespace at the end of the line.
