m4 has been updated to version 1.4.2
NEWS
====
This release patches a security hole in m4 1.4: the maketemp macro now
creates the temporary file, rather than just returning an unused filename.
Additionally, the documentation has been moved to the /usr/share/info directory.
DESCRIPTION
===========
m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It is
mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions (for example,
handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has
built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing
arithmetic, etc.
UPDATE
======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your
system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up
'm4' from the 'Interpreters' category.
