The line continuation character breaks lwperf #9

For example, the following code does not work:

PERFLOG(SITENAME, IP(its), IP(nx), IP(numReg), IP(numFiles), IP(showProg), \ IP(quiet), IP(viz), IP(balance), IP(cost));

but,

PERFLOG(SITENAME, IP(its), IP(nx), IP(numReg), IP(numFiles), IP(showProg), IP(quiet), IP(viz), IP(balance), IP(cost));

does work.

PERFLOG sites are not just macros handled by the preprocessor; the updateLoggers* scripts parse these calls out and ensure that everything is kept up to date. However in doing so, it assumes that all the calls are on the same line. I'm sure this could be made more intelligent, but would probably be pretty time consuming, require implementing something like a C parser.
