- Was there any good reason for undefining the include M4 builtin?
- Groff 1.06 uses it, and I've been using it in my geeks package; I
- can't see what harm it could do, and it makes the configure.in file
- much neater.
-
- I'm know virtually nothing about M4, and don't want to, so my two
- basic questions are: 1) is there a good reason to disable include in
- Autoconf, and 2) if so, is there any other way round it?
-
- I've been thinking about trying Metaconfig for a while; it'd be a
- shame for something this trivial to be the ``straw that broke the
- camel's back''.
