Okay, but its basically ANY code that uses this method. I'll give you the 
example code I cut&pasted which didn't work:

#define LONG_DEFINE  "beginning of string \
                      and end of the same"

^ doesn't work. Gives a syntax error on the second line.

Well I don't think emacs does insert MS-DOS style newlines. I was originally 
using visual C but I re-edited it in emacs and I think that would have 
removed the carriage return.
