Yeah, I didn't realize it was GNU.  I figured if it compiled under
OSK, under the old MW 68K compiler, getting it to work under the 6809
compiler wouldn't be that hard.

I tried porting a different M4 before.  It was old K&R code, but the
compiler was having problems with it.  IIRC I was having trouble with
struct element names, but I think ansifront would make that all just
go away.  Unfortunately I lost all that in a hard drive crash.

Yep, especially with twenty-year-old C source.
