1 20.3 How Can I Bootstrap?
1 =========================

1 If Autoconf requires GNU M4 and GNU M4 has an Autoconf
1 `configure' script, how do I bootstrap? It seems like a chicken
1 and egg problem!

1 This is a misunderstanding. Although GNU M4 does come with a
1 `configure' script produced by Autoconf, Autoconf is not required in
1 order to run the script and install GNU M4. Autoconf is only required
1 if you want to change the M4 `configure' script, which few people have
1 to do (mainly its maintainer).
