Hi Luke,

thanks for the bug report.

Only in the sense that the Autoconf testsuite isn't sufficiently
prepared to deal with it:

autoconf/tests/local.at:AT_CHECK_M4 needs to cope with typical
--program-transform uses of m4, such as m4-X.Y or m4-X.Y.Z.
I suggest the patch below, OK to commit and add Luke to THANKS?

This and the other failing Fortran tests need to ensure the compiler
groks .f90 files or skip otherwise.  I suggest the second patch below.

Thanks,
Ralf

   Fix testsuite failures with typical m4-x.y.z program suffix.
   * tests/local.at (AT_CHECK_M4): Normalize hyphens and digits
   after the `m4' program name.
   * THANKS: Update.
