Subject: m4/mdw-define-paths.m4: Use `$(...)' for command substitution.
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/runlisp/commitdiff_plain/a5a80ab7dd42efd764981c1f9e25209b58b6e35f

m4/mdw-define-paths.m4: Use `$(...)' for command substitution.

It nests better than the old-fashioned ``...`' syntax.  Which is good,
because it's nested here.
