As an experiment, I tried to build m4 using the directory structure
described by Keith. make failed on entering
/c/GnuWin32/m4build/lib/stdlib.h with error 'cannot open include file: ''
The same error previously ocurred for libtool make. I think this is
significant. Why are the header files being written with #include ''?
