This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of the FSF's GNU m4
macro processor.  A list of contributors to the GNU program is in the
THANKS file in the source distribution, or appended below in the
binary package.

This package was put together by me, Ian Jackson
<ijackson@nyx.cs.du.edu>, from the GNU sources, which I obtained from
src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/gnu/m4-1.*.tar.gz.  The changes were very minimal -
merely adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by
adding various debian.* files.
