The backslash is used to prevent shell-expansion in the in-document.
I didn't know it wasn't portable.  In fact, it surprises me, because
even autoconf uses that.  If you're going to remove the backslash,
then just remove it, there's no need to add the single quotes.  But
I'm very interested in learning what kind of failure you're observing,
on what system it's failing, and which shell you're using.
