A bit off-topic, and a bit late, but you can avoid the need for those
additional backslashes by simply placing the string in apostrophes
(single quotes).  It's the shell that tries to interpret the string
before passing it to "make" itself, and the single quotes tell
the shell to not even try to interpret the string.

So, just do:

  make -V 'PYDISTUTILS_PKGVERSION:C/([[:digit:]]\.[[:digit:]])\./\1_/g'

...and you'll see what make(1) thinks of the quoted string, just as if
you'd put it in the Makefile.

G'luck,
Peter
