>Environment:
System: NetBSD this 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (THAT) #2: Sun Apr 16 15:13:55 EDT 2000 root@this:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/THAT i386
(new build as of yesterday...wanna snapshot?)

>Description:

	now that my laptop is presentable (albeit sans sound and x support)
	i thought it might be nice to send-pr my experiences with gre and
	ipip stuff.  so i needed a sendmail that could lie to the outside
	world convincingly enough to get email out.  that means i need a
	better sendmail.cf, so i went to make one.

>How-To-Repeat:

	cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf
	vi local.mc
	make local.cf
	more local.cf

	hmmm.....local.cf is really broken

	oh...wait.  i see.  i need to preload m4/cf.m4.........

	notice that some examples preload it in the .mc file and that
	others (presumably taken directly from the sendmail distribution)
	won't build either.

>Fix:

	the Makefile in /usr/share/sendmail/cf should really pre-load
	the file ../m4/cf.m4 for you.  the examples that already do it
	won't suffer from double inclusion (and, imho, should not do
	so as it violates the principle of least surprise).
