A new version of GNU m4 is available for ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu.

Bug reports and suggestions should be sent to seindal@diku.dk or to
gnu.utils.bug.  Any kind of feedback is welcome.

The main differences from version 0.99 are:

	* Uses GNU configure, taken from the gdb distribution.

	* Uses GNU getopt(), with long option names.

	* The -Q/+quiet option is added, which suppresses warnings about
	  missing or superflous arguments to built-in macros.

	* Added default options via the M4OPTS environment variable.

	* The built-in format can now be configured to use sprintf as
	  the formatting engine, for systems without [efg]cvt(3).

	* GNU library code is moved to the ./lib subdirectory; other
	  utility files are now in ./etc.

	* Several minor bugs have been fixed.  They were mostly about
	  diversions. 

Many thanks to those, who provided me with bug reports and feedback.
