OK, thanks. A colleague of mine noticed a bug, in that:
export M4PATH=${AUTO_STABLE}/share/autoconf:${M4PATH}
will set M4PATH to '/foo/share.autoconf:' if it was not previously set, and
an empty path equates to the current directory, which is probably not what
was intended. This really needs a check to see whether M4PATH was previously
set, and only appending to it if so. This isn't an issue for PATH because
you assume it is always set to something.
