[Bug 889553] [NEW] make.vim fails to recognize valid makeIdent with dashes during assignment

[Curtis Brown]

Public bug reported:

1. Create a Makefile with a variable that has dashes:
foo-bar=baz
$(foo-bar):

2. Observe that syntax highlighting fails for assignment, but $(foo-bar) is highlighted correctly.
3. Apply the attached patch; restart vim; observe that the bug is fixed (root cause: the \w pattern excludes dashes).

The bug definitely exists in 10.04 and 11.10. I'm guessing it's
universal. If you need exact packages:

2:7.2.330-1ubuntu3 (ubuntu 10.04, amd64)
2:7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-2ubuntu3  (ubuntu 11.10, i386)

** Affects: vim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
