When configure runs config/auto/m4.pl to detect if the system
m4 is gnu it hangs. Running "m4 --version" does not display
the version number for freebsd m4. m4 starts up and sits their
waiting for input from STDIN.
Parrot::Configure::Step::capture_output ( used by m4.pl )
should probably be modified to timeout commands after 60 seconds and/or
it should be possible to specify the override the name of the m4
binary in the platform/local hints file.
