Hello,

I am thinking of having M4 pre-process my .fvwm2rc file but before doing
so I would like to know the following: What does M4 exactly do? What does it
stand for? What was the motivation behind the creation of M4?
Can I use it define and undefine variables just like within a C program?
What are the pros and cons of M4 pre-processing?

Thanks for your feedback,

Neil
