Sure. I'm interested. I already downloaded the package from CVS.

If you grab CVS cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/m4 login anonymous <hit enter for password> cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/m4 co m4 you'll see that the whole thing has been modularized with plugins. I sent Gary some patches last week and he incorporated them, but there are still a number of issues with building it cleanly on cygwin. Most of these are probably not m4's fault, but are shortcomings in the libtool (or libltdl) implementation on cygwin. I haven't tried to rebuild in about a week, so things may have changed in the meantime. If anyone is interested, I can post my build recipe and notes... -- Chuck
