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.
