;;; Commentary:

;; A smart editing mode for m4 macro definitions.  It seems to have most of the 
;; syntax right (sexp motion commands work, but function motion commands don't).
;; It also sets the font-lock syntax stuff for colorization

;; To Do's:

;; * want to make m4-m4-(buffer|region) look sorta like M-x compile look&feel ?
;; * sexp motion commands don't seem to work right

;; to autoload m4 lisp code:  
;; (autoload 'm4-mode "m4-mode" nil t)
;;
;; or can use (load "m4-mode") or (require 'm4-mode) to just load it 
;;
;; to try to "auto-detect" m4 files:
;; (setq auto-mode-alist 
;;	 (cons '(".*\\.m4$" . m4-mode)
;;	       auto-mode-alist))

;;; Thanks:
