Question about makevarescape.sed in groff-1.22.4 tarball

[Mike Fulton]

Hello,

The last line of the makevarescape.sed is:

```
s|[^ ]/\+|&\\\\:|g
```

I do not understand why it is making the change it is, but if I do

```
./configure 
--prefix=/Users/fultonm@ca.ibm.com/Documents/Development/mine<mailto:--prefix=/Users/fultonm@ca.ibm.com/Documents/Development/mine>
```

On my Mac, or a similar type of line under z/OS, then the man pages seem to 
have strange escape sequences added to them.
For example, on my Mac, this results in the line:

```
.I 
/Users/fultonm@ca.ibm.com/Documents/Development/mine/share/groff/1.22.4/tmac/\:tty\-char.tmac<mailto:/Users/fultonm@ca.ibm.com/Documents/Development/mine/share/groff/1.22.4/tmac/\:tty\-char.tmac>
```

Being generated in the ./src/roff/nroff/nroff.1 file

Thanks, Mike
