Yes, I concur about using the m4 macro files (.mc). Unfortunately, my
.cf files are pretty complex of necessity, and m4 either doesn't support
all the stuff I need or it makes the build process overly complex. As a
result, I'm really used to futzing with the .cf files directly and I
forget what the m4 macro names are.
I appologize for confusing the issue if I did.
