This is a port of GNU m4 1.4.9 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


  DJGPP specific changes.
  =======================

  - There are no DJGPP specific changes compared with the previous port.
  - The distributed source package has been configured for stock djdev203.
    If you want to compile the sources using djdev204 you will need to recon-
    figure the packages deleting the file /djgpp/config.cache and running the
    command /djgpp/xp-config.bat. This batch file will take care that the
    distributed popen.c from the cvs tree is used for producing the binary
    instead of the brocken one from libc.a included in djdev204.
  - If you need to reconfigure the package for use with stock djdev203, then
    you must delete /djgpp/config.cache and run the command /djgpp/config.bat.

  As usual, my changes and the rest of the djgpp specific stuff is stored in
  the /djgpp subdir.


  The port has been configured, compiled and tested on a Win98SE system with
  LFN support using stock djdev203.  LFN support is required due to 8.3 file
  name conflicts in /lib and /checks that I have not resolved.  The sources
  have also been compiled and tested on WinXP using djdev204.
  The test case 144.sysval will fail and the failure is expected to happen due
  to the missing of the kill command and it is *not* a bug of the port.

  For futher information about GNU m4 please read the info docs and NEWS file.


  The port consists of the usual three packages that can be downloaded from
  ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-03-24):
