 Description: a macro processing language
  GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro
  processor.  It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some
  extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
  macros).  `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running
  shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.  Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for
  generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them.
