m4 files not unique in 8.3 environments

Hi;

In GNU make I'm using external Gettext support, with this in
configure.in:

  AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.14.1)
  AM_GNU_GETTEXT([external])

This installs the following problematic files into my distribution:

  ./config/inttypes-pri.m4
  ./config/inttypes.m4
  ./config/inttypes_h.m4

This works fine for UNIX, but when people try to unpack the GNU make
tarball on a DOS system where only 8.3 filenames are allowed they get
errors because these filenames are not unique in 8.3.


Maybe the files could be renamed to be unique in 8.3 filesystems?  Thanks.
