section 9.1:
If file does not exist, is a directory, or cannot otherwise be read,
the expansion is void, and include will fail with an error while
sinclude is silent. The empty string counts as a file that does not
exist.
What part of "is silent" does the version of M4 that comes with RHL4
not understand? What does "m4 --version" print on your RHL4 system?
(It works on my Mac OS X 10.5.x system, with GNU M4 1.4.6, even
without plugins/Custom.m4; presumably the intent is to allow somebody
to create a Custom.m4 file if they need it for a plugin, and have it
be included if it's present, without *requiring* it to be there.)
