Upgrade to Emacs 20.2 (or its cc-mode) ?

For me, it indents that as:

#define MACRO(x)        printf("huhu" \
			       "you!\n");

(It even seems to recognize continuation lines of macros and
do something a little different for them - isn't quite as smart
about them as it is about normal C code, but still not too bad.)
