A new release of m4-1.4.14 is available from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/m4
This is a quick release of only the binary files.
It has been configured with '-with-syscmd-shell=cmd.exe'.
The source in builtin.c has been patched so that m4 first looks 
at the environment variables ComSpec and SHELL, and only if these 
are not set, then it uses cmd; this allows you to override the default
value of cmd.
I hope it now works correctly.
