csh!! *shudder* Hard to believe that's still around in 2014.
Anyway, this seems like a much more complex solution than is needed.
You can define a multiline variable inside a makefile with define, then
export it and use it in your recipe. And save yourself the hassle of
having a wrapper script... especially one in csh ;-)
define BIGVAR
this is line 1
this is line 2
this is line 3
endef
export BIGVAR
all: ; @echo "$$BIGVAR" > bigfile ; cat bigfile
