processor. It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some
extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
macros). `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running
-shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc. Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for
-generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them.
+shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.
- GNU `m4' was originally written by Rene Seindal, with subsequent
-changes by Franc,ois Pinard and other volunteers on the Internet. All
-names and email addresses can be found in the file `THANKS' from the
-GNU `m4' distribution.
-
- This is release 1.3. It is now to be considered stable, future
-releases are only meant to fix bugs, increase speed, or improve
-documentation. However...
-
- An experimental feature, which would improve `m4' usefulness, allows
-for changing the syntax for what is a "word" in `m4'. You should use:
- ./configure --enable-changeword
-
-if you want this feature compiled in. The current implementation slows
-down `m4' considerably and is hardly acceptable. So, it might go away,
-do not count on it yet.
