It's fine with me if you push that to master and branch-2.5. If it's really stable, you could even push something to branch-2.4.2, but that would require a manual update of m4/m4.m4 because branch-2.4.2 does not have an autoconf submodule. Because this change is visible to the user, I'd also appreciate a brief NEWS entry for the earliest release. Thanks, Eric.
