hello
There is a difference in the way "search path" is handle between
m4-1.4.2 and m4-1.4.14.
- With m4-1.4.2 each m4 file that is include will be search by
default in the current path and each path include by -I option.
- With m4-1.14 only the first m4 file will be search in current and
path include by -I option, all other m4 file will be search in the path
match by the first include m4 file.
It's like there is some path cache in operation somewhere.
