An implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is

handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has
built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing
arithmetic, etc.

Build instructions:
  unpack m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
    unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport m4-1.4.17-1 all

This will create:
  /usr/src/m4-1.4.17-1.tar.bz2
  /usr/src/m4-1.4.17-1-src.tar.bz2

Or use 'cygport m4-1.4.17-1 prep' to get a patched source directory

To find out the files included in the binary distribution, you can use
"cygcheck -l m4", or browse the listing for the appropriate version at
