		GNU `m4' ****** GNU `m4**' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor.
		`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.
		GNU `m4' was originally written by Ren'e Seindal, with subsequent changes by Franc,ois Pinard and other volunteers on the Internet.

	ITworld.com - Using the m4 Macro Processor
		The contemporary implementation of m4 on a Linux system is GNU m4, which follows System V Release 3 m4, with extensions.
		However, m4 is m4, and this article should be useful for other Unix users, too.
		Since the usefulness of this is unclear to GNU m4's maintainer (and indeed to me), this feature is not in GNU m4.

		m4 implementations on BSD may differ slightly; but by and large, m4 is m4, and this article should be useful for other Unix users too.
		GNU m4 also allows use of # as a comment character, with the different that such comments are passed to the output stream.
		The sendmail source distribution comes with a set of m4 macro definition files which are sufficient to generate a sendmail.cf for practically any site; at most, a little tweaking of the resulting sendmail.cf file (whose syntax has been memorably and justly compared to line noise) may be required.

		M4 is a general purpose tool for processing text and has existed on Unix systems of all kinds for many years, rarely catching the attention of users.
		GNU M4 is the GNU project's implementation of M4 and was written by René Seindal in 1990.
		This deficiency is the primary reason that this chapter exists--it is important to have a good working knowledge of M4 in order to use the GNU Autotools and to extend it with your own macros (see section 23.

		If GNU `m4' is meant to serve GNU `autoconf', beware that `m4' should be fully installed prior to configuring `autoconf' itself.

	m4 Macroprocessor
		M4 is a very old text file macro processor, almost as old as C-Preprocessor (which was in turn modeled after PL/1 preprocessor).
		M4 is a macro processor designed by D.M.Ritchie as a front end for RATFOR and C. As a macro processor M4 assisted in expansion of macros for code translation.
		Comments in m4 are introduced with the # character - everything from the # to the end of the line is ignored by m4 and simply passed unchanged to the output.

		Quite simply, there are things you can do with m4 that can't easily be done any other way.
		macros were to have their arguments quoted, it would delay the interpretation and instead of numerical values they would see text instead, which causes m4 to complain: Non-numeric argument to built-in `incr'.

		If a missing file generates a message but is not an error, then this should be either documented or fixed.

	Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool: How GNU Autotools uses M4 - Andamooka Reader (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		If you have already installed Autoconf on your system, you may have encountered problems due to its strict M4 requirements.
		Autoconf demands to use GNU M4, mostly due to it exceeding limitations present in other M4 implementations.
		When M4 freezes an input file, it produces another file which represents the internal state of the M4 processor so that the input file does not need to be parsed again.
