(The current version is supposed to be capable of satisfying autoconf.)

All still relevant NetBSD changes have been preserved in this version, and
formatting and style fixes have been applied in various places.

Thanks to Masao Uebayashi <uebayasi@soum.co.jp> for pointing this out.

Sprinkle some const, and rename a shadow-variable.

couple more whitespace fixes, by Nathan Ahlstrom

add a typedef which describes elements in the push-back buffer. Make
that typedef 'short'. 'char' (which was previously used) because char
may be unsigned and ((char)EOF) != EOF if that is the case

add a typedef which describes elements in the push-back buffer. Make
that typedef 'short'. 'char' (which was previously used) because char
may be unsigned and ((char)EOF) != EOF if that is the case. That was
causing the (char)EOF (0xff) pushed back in main to be interepreted as
a character, and, in some cases, to be written to the output. 'short'
was used rather than 'signed char' because if the latter is used,
0xff characters in the input would confuse m4. (No point in introducing
(more?) 8-bit lossage.)
