| 2.49a. It looks like "sinclude" will finally be removed in Autoconf
| 2.54 because it is causing some problems in other areas. Gawk is the

Paul, I think I should give you might impression about this: people
use sinclude because the original Autoconf turned ``include''
completely off. So really, I think you ought to
s/sinclude/m4_include/. I very much doubt there is any genuine user of
_S_include in the Autoconf realm.
