Hi,

Automake 1.17 produces a warning for the use of \# here:

https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient/blob/d88e6438efbc53e977546693f6835f7517072a06/Makefile.am#L22

automake: warnings are treated as errors
Makefile.am:20: warning: escaping \# comment markers is not portable
autoreconf2.72: error: automake failed with exit status: 1


Is use within quotes also not portable?
