Problem: filetype: Make syntax highlighting off for MS Makefiles
Solution: Try to detect MS Makefiles and adjust syntax rules to it.
(Ken Takata)
Highlighting of variable expansion in Microsoft Makefile can be broken.
E.g.:
2979cfc262/src/Make_mvc.mak (L1331)
Don't use backslash as escape characters if `make_microsoft` is set.
Also fix that `make_no_comments` was not considered if `make_microsoft`
was set.
Also add description for `make_microsoft` and `make_no_comments` to the
documentation and include a very simple filetype test

This directory contains Vim scripts for syntax highlighting.
These scripts are not for a language, but are used by Vim itself:
syntax.vim Used for the ":syntax on" command. Uses synload.vim.
manual.vim Used for the ":syntax manual" command. Uses synload.vim.
synload.vim Contains autocommands to load a language file when a certain
file name (extension) is used. And sets up the Syntax menu
for the GUI.
nosyntax.vim Used for the ":syntax off" command. Undo the loading of
synload.vim.
The "shared" directory contains generated files and what is used by more than
one syntax.
A few special files:
2html.vim Converts any highlighted file to HTML (GUI only).
colortest.vim Check for color names and actual color on screen.
hitest.vim View the current highlight settings.
whitespace.vim View Tabs and Spaces.
If you want to write a syntax file, read the docs at ":help usr_44.txt".
If you make a new syntax file which would be useful for others, please send it
to the vim-dev mailing list <vim-dev@vim.org>. Include instructions for
detecting the file type for this language, by file name extension or by
checking a few lines in the file. And please write the file in a portable way,
see ":help 44.12".
If you have remarks about an existing file, send them to the maintainer of
that file. Only when you get no response send a message to the vim-dev
mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>.
If you are the maintainer of a syntax file and make improvements, send the new
version to the vim-dev mailing list: <vim-dev@vim.org>
For further info see ":help syntax" in Vim.
