In dlls/shell32, it does something similar to:
sed -E -e 's/(.*)/  \"\1\",/' < AUTHORS
where AUTHORS contains lines like:
Sami Aario
Karl Backström
Maxime Bellengé
Dennis Björklund

This results in:
  "Sami Aario",
  "Karl Backstr",öm
  "Maxime Belleng",é
  "Dennis Bj",örklund
instead of
  "Sami Aario",
  "Karl Backström",
  "Maxime Bellengé",
  "Dennis Björklund",
as intended, and compilation failure later on.
