Hi Andrew,

Due to Rene's lack of time for the moment, I am the current custodian of
GNU M4.  I have created a project page for M4 at savannah.gnu.org, and
some new lists: m4-discuss, m4-patches and m4-commit, to coordinate the
development...

Thanks.  Excellent... but, unfortunately (depending on your point of
view) M4 has suffered *a lot* of code churn since 1.4p, so your patch
no longer applies to the repository.  Before I can accept a patch
of this magnitude, would you be prepared to assign the copyright to the
FSF?

Cheers,
        Gary.
