GNU m4 1.4o incorporates all changes I have been sent, that patched
cleanly.


The highlights are:

* Modules can be loaded from the command line with --load-module

* Modules now use libtools wrapper libltdl.

* Bug fixes.


Things the needs testing (see the ChangeLog for details)

* Stack overflow detection on BSDI 3.1 systems.


Things still left to do before releasing 1.5:

* Save information about modules and the syntax table to frozen state
  files.

* Implement option to output Makefile dependencies.

* Some characters, such as comma, are still hardcoded in several places,
  and does not follow changes in the syntax table.

* If configured --with-gmp for multiple precision arithmetic there are
  somw warnings, but it passes the tests.

* The test case for stackoverflow doesn't work.
