Well, if you're brand new to m4, you're work is even more impressive :)

Hm, that's probable, thought I wouldn't be surprised recent Autoconves
behave better than before. Many quotes are missing in the core, in

Renamed as m4_eval, because eval is a sh construct which is often used
in Autoconf scripts.
