Subject: ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of DJGPP packages of m4 1.4 available

Hello.

I've updated the DJGPP packages of m4 1.4. I made the following changes:

* m4 now reports its name as 'm4' in messages, rather than reporting the full
path of the executable.

* The DJGPP-specific configuration batch file in the source distribution now
sets the prefix to /dev/env/DJDIR (rather than $DJDIR) and enables the
changeword extension. (The changeword extension is needed by autoconf.)

There are no functional changes. Unless you need m4 to report itself as 'm4'
rather than, say, '/dev/env/DJDIR/bin/m4.exe', there is no need to upgrade.
(The autoconf 2.57 testsuite relies on m4 reporting itself as 'm4'.)

The binary, documentation and source distributions are available from
Simtel.NET and its mirrors:
