The tar was too big for the GNU mailman default. I've since upped the
default to be able to handle an attachment of this size. 

As best as I can tell the attachment didn't go through. But that's
okay, because I've just applied the patch along with some CVS adds so
it goes into the repository.

Do you know what specifically would have be be installed on Mac OS X?

The default behavior of the automate system seems to be to include
them. (More specifically, "make dist" includes the m4 directory
without any change above what you had.)a
