make chain-build doesn't work as advertised

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

I have tried to use colons in make chain-build, but it didn't worked. 
I kicked a build without the grouping, but maybe this could be
investigated?

$ make chain-build CHAIN='libdap bes:gdal:libnc-dap dap-server:dap-hdf4_handler:dap-netcdf_handler'
cvs server: cannot find module `bes:gdal:libnc-dap' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
make: *** [chain-build] Erreur 1


another possibility is that I misunderstood the syntax.
