Has the format of version-etc output changed? From GNU M4 1.4.x (doesn't use version-etc):
$ m4 --version GNU M4 1.4.4 Written by Rene' Seindal. Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Which matches the output of automake --version, autoconf --version, ls --version and several others I tried. However, compiled CVS M4 with latest gnulib, I get: $ ./src/m4 --version GNU M4 1.9a Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software. You may redistribute copies of it under the terms of the GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html>. There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. Written by Rene' Seindal and Gary V. Vaughan. This looks uglier IMHO. Can we change swap the author and copyright blocks in version-etc.c to match coreutils and others output?
