The C language standard says
A source file that is not empty shall end in a new-line character, which 
shall not be immediately preceded by a backslash character.

Since this is a "shall" clause, we must emit a diagnostic message for a 
violation of this rule.

This is in section 2.1.1.2 of the ANSI C 1989 standard.  Section 5.1.1.2 
of the ISO C 1999 standard (and probably also the ISO C 1990 standard).
