[bcc'ing everyone who responded to snapshot 2; thanks again for your
previous feedback]
One more snapshot before the final release of M4 1.4.13; this one adds
some gnulib fixes for some (but not all) of the reported issues from last
snapshot; it also adds some optimizations that result in faster m4 speed.
Known issues from the previous round for which no one has done any
investigation:
On some older platforms, the gnulib tests test-fseeko and test-ftello
fail, due to a bug in the platforms' ungetc behavior. Without a gnulib
replacement for ungetc, this won't be fixed, but it does not affect m4
behavior.
On some FreeBSD platforms, the gnulib test test-wcrtomb fails in some
locales. This does not affect m4, which only uses the C locale.
On a DEC Alpha platform, there were two m4 test failures; 174.format
failed in such a way that it implies printf("%f") is not supported by libc
but the replacement gnulib printf was not picked up, and 191.sysval failed
with a different value than expected for system(3). I'm not sure whether
this can be easily fixed.
