Here is an ealy draft for an article I wrote for `Linux User & Developer' magazine about 5 years ago (shame it starts with "on the cusp of the release of GNU M4 2.0" *blush*). I can't lay my hands on the completed version of the article right now, but you might find this draft interesting nonetheless, since it deals with M4 as a C preprocessor. If you try to copy any of the code, beware that the file is in Emacs muse-mode syntax; so [ characters had to be escaped with a leading ` to prevent them from being treated as links, and fixed width font words are surrounded by = characters, as well as a smattering of HTML entities (& for &) and tags (<example>).
