Version 1.4.3 - March 2005, by Gary V. Vaughan
* DESTDIR installs now work correctly.
* Don't segfault with uncompilable regexps to changeword().
* Always use \n line-endings for frozen files (fixes a cygwin bug).
* Portability fix for systems lacking mkstemp(3).
* Approximately 20% speed up in the common case of usage with autoconf.
* Supported on QNX 6.3.
* configure.in (VERSION): Bump to 1.4.2.
* NEWS: Describe 1.4.2's changes.
* src/m4.c (reference_error): Preserve errno, since M4ERROR
relies on this.
* src/builtin.c (m4_esyscmd): Clear errno before calling popen.
(m4_maketemp): Clear errno before calling mkstemp.
* src/path.c (path_search): Don't let "free" trash errno when
returning NULL.
* src/output.c (insert_file): Don't assume errno has a valid
value simply because fread returns zero. This fixes a
portability bug reported by Marion Hakanson in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-m4/2004-07/msg00029.html>.
Fixes PR pkg/27301.
* maketemp now creates an empty file with the given name, instead of merely
returning the name of a nonexistent file. This closes a security hole.
(Now it builds on Darwin/MacOSX; no more 'sigstack' linking error.)
"yes"). So any packages that have old GNU configure script that
does not support --infodir option (while using INFO_FILES) can set
CONFIGURE_HAS_INFODIR=NO.
This was suggested by agc@ as a clearer definition.

See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
Use uname -s to work out the Operating System.
FreeBSD has install-info and /usr/share/info/dir by default.
NetBSD doesn't, so, for now, don't try to do this on NetBSD.
