It's not cynical, and it's helpful. I have Yet Another Language to learn,
then master, then get bored of.

The most difficult thing is using info (or emacs) to browse through the
info file. I hate those hyperthings.

Does the -m4-squote option works? I've not been able to use it, and the
example in the man page doesn't work.
stdin:11: m4: Warning: Excess arguments to built-in `m4_define' ignored
stdin:25: m4: Cannot open {/root/.fvwm2rc}: No such file or directory
[FVWM][executeModule]: <<ERROR>> No such module /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm2 changequote({,
shalott:~# m4 --version
GNU m4 1.4
Is there a way to refer to $HOME within FvwmM4 or Fvwm ?
I'd like to include(`~/.fvwm-whatever'), because I often launch X from a
directory that is not $HOME.
