After I got home last night I found your earlier messages and applied most
of the patches around the get time of day stuff, which allowed autoconf to
work, but I then crashed out for the night before proceeding further. I'll
try and do some more today.

I won't be doing this as I need to stay up to date for other work.

If that is identical to the one on the mailing list don't worry, otherwise
please send it.

I'll be pleased to report what happens.
My understanding is that you are just putting square brackets around M4
macro arguments. Could you please explain in a little more detail what that
does in the context of the different versions of autoconf? (I am a complete
beginner on autoconf and M4, so far just modifying preexisting code by
example without any real understanding of what I am doing.)
Cheers
