When M4 is not defined in the environment, autom4te falls back on the
hardcoded value that was learned at autoconf configure time, even for the
upcoming 2.62 (it's just that 2.62 will be more likely to make a good
choice than 2.61).  If you want the default M4 fallback in autom4te
changed, rerun autoconf's ./configure with your choice of M4 environment
variable, then reinstall autoconf.
