[Sablevm-developer] prepare_code.m4.c format request

[Chris P. <chr...@ma...>]

Hi,

I would like to request in advance a format for prepare_code.m4.c that 
will minimize changes against the prepare_code.m4.c in my sandbox.

I know there are a few ways to do things.  I've been using the following 
when only certain portions of a file need be m4'ed.

Cheers,
Chris

Seems quite reasonable to me.  How about documenting this under /doc?

okay, that and a couple of other comments are added to /doc/m4macros.txt 
in my sandbox.

i'll make a tag with all these changes at some point (will take a few weeks)

cheers,
