Hooray - the gnulib wchar module has seen its first happy customer.  I'll
check in the remaining m4 patches shortly; I've been camping on the ss_sp
vs. ss_base patch for almost a month now.  And it is one step closer to a
release of M4 1.4.9.

Can you run 'make check' to validate that everything built okay?

Any GNU project that uses gnulib and is released on some date after today
will automatically be fixed.  See the current list of gnulib clients here:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/gnulib/users.txt?rev=1.13&root=gnulib&view=auto

Other software packages will likely still encounter problems if they try
to use your broken <wchar.h> without the correct prerequisite headers.
