m4 is not here to comfort you, but rather, to cast a merciless spotlight

define(`Min', include(`conf/MINOR'))
Oops. No quotes around the definition body!
That depends. I've seen intentional unquoted includes in a define(), if
you want Min to be defined to the expansion of the contents of
conf/MINOR (and thus be expanded a second time when Min is expanded,
having read the file exactly once), rather than defining Min to be
shorthand for including the file in-place every time Min is expanded.
